Can we stop the pseudoscience? If people stay home there are no accidents, no murders, no party drugs etc. Comparing oranges to apples. Unless the article wants to say that covid is actually good for you. Just stop it, it's bad for everyone.
- spikels 6y agoYour point that Covid (and our responses to it) have both plus and minuses is valid. But then you undermine it with this: > If people stay home there are no accidents, no murders, no party drugs etc. There are still accidents, murders, etc. In some places they have even increased. And other causes of death like suicide and heart disease are up because people are staying home. Then you end by contradicting your own good point (i.e. impacts are complex) with "it's bad for everyone" which is obviously untrue.
- pessimizer 6y agoThe Law of Averages looks a lot like "moderation" to some people.
- biolurker1 6y agoMy position is crystal clear. You can't compare people at home with people living normal life and deduct anything about the covid mortality effect. You can nitpick all you want.
