- dvt 5y ago> It is ridiculous and baseless to compare it to obesity which is not causing any significant strain on the hospital system like COVID is. Wrong[1][2][3][4].

- ryanlol 5y ago> 5+ million people have died from COVID. This is a shit metric, deliberately designed to mislead. The real metric that matters is years of life lost (YLL).
