Ah, America. This attitude is why the US is the world leader in COVID-19, and things are only getting worse.
Very soon there will be days with 5000 Americans dead, 300,000 new infections, and God knows how many people crippled for life, and yet I'm sure people will still be going on about "totalitarianism" and fiercely resisting any public health measures.
- chronofar 6y agoYou seem to have missed the point entirely and opted to just regurgitate numbers to plug into the guiding function I explicitly questioned. What is the number of deaths it takes for you to think the government should take whatever action necessary to prevent it? Is it 1? 100? 1000? When does reduction in deaths become more important than other considerations?
