- klyrs 6y agoYour mom will die soon. You have a choice between now, and a year from now. What do you prefer?
- insickness 6y agoA year from now.
- Loughla 6y agoSo, again, your particular argument is - we shouldn't try to do anything about covid, because people already die from things? What a complete nonsense argument. What is different about covid that means we shouldn't try to treat it? We treat cancer, and genetic diseases, and the flu. We actively try to avoid death for a million other reasons. Why should we just throw our hands up with this one and act like it's not there?
- insickness 6y agoThat's a straw man. I never said to do nothing. But at the same time, don't overreact. You don't think it's possible to overreact to this? Why don't you 'do something' about car crash victims every year? Are you okay with all of them dying from something that is preventable? You're just going to throw your hands in the air? Of course not. Have them wear seat belts. Invent things to reduce deaths, like airbags. But it is possible to go too far, like closing every street in the country.
