This is such a repugnant and ignorant statement that it makes me despair for our society.

  One only needs to look at Italy, Spain, NYC to spot the main problem(s) with the statement. I'm being generous in attributing them to ignorance - there is a very strong likelihood in today's environment that it's willful mis-statement. Not the least problem is that it implicitly assumes that others will take steps to reduce the worst effects, so that you don't need to bother. The basic anti-social anti-vax position. In any case it's so easily dissected that I'm going to invoke Brandolini's Law [1] and decline to waste the time to refute BS.

    >One only needs to look at Italy, Spain, NYC to spot the main problem(s) with the statement Many are asymptotic, many have mild symptom, yes there is deaths but low in number. Is it not the same case as in Italy, Spain, NYC ? >Not the least problem is that it implicitly assumes that others will take steps to reduce the worst effects, so that you don't need to bother I don't assumes others will take steps to reduce the worst effects. Even in in the worst case situation where everyone eventually will get infected (including me), it didn't bother me.

      > Even in in the worst case situation where everyone eventually will get infected (including me), it didn't bother me. Like I said, the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands to millions doesn't bother you. That is repugnant, and sociopathic.

        There are millions of death happened due to various cases every year even before pandemic. If I let this bother me, I would be depressed all the time. Why would I want that?

        As I said earlier, I'm not inclined to participate in the refutation of BS, which is what you are trolling out. This is a once-a-century pandemic of a virus that is not at all the influenza or any other common virus. If left to itself it would kill, most likely, millions in the US alone. That's not millions who were going to die anyway, it is millions of avoidable deaths with 10's of millions of years of life extinguished. The sociopathic narcissism of individuals who feel like that's fine as long as they personally don't feel at risk, which this exchange typifies, is deplorable.
