Is that what you tell everyone who looses a loved one? Don't worry now the planet has less overpopulation, it was for the better. Oh and plenty of new people are being born so don't worry about your loss. It find it revolting all the people who seek to trivialize the effects of COVID19. If it didn't matter, I guess Mao and Stalin purges didn't matter either. Just piles of people in an overpopulated world right?

> Is that what you tell everyone who looses a loved one? What do you tell the 15 million people who loses a loved one to covid? Emotion has no part to play here. I'm telling you the numbers. The most serious threat to humanity seen in a century slowed population growth by a few weeks. If you want to get emotional feel free to make your own top level comment on the matter. Those are the numbers and that is my comment. Feel free to disagree with what I actually said, I'm happy to debate the facts.

  Paraphrasing: > > > covid didn't do enough to improve our overpopulation problem > > wow, you're nice > emotion has no part here Stalin put it better than you: one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic. You're playing with statistics. May you never find yourself near the levers of power.

    Was the OP about one death or 15 million? I'm quite sure it's the latter. The median age of covid deaths in my country so far is 83 years old. Pardon my nonchalance around the issue. It's not meant to offend.

And how about those of us who lost loved ones to causes other than Covid during this time? Are Covid deaths the only tragic ones? How about preventable cancer deaths that were diagnosed too late? Or suicides? And so on?

I mean 2.8 million folks die each year due to obesity related diseases and effects. https://www.who.int/news-room/facts-in-pictures/detail/6-facts-on-obesity https://www.who.int/news-room/facts-in-pictures/detail/6-fac... Since fat is beautiful, does that make covid more beautiful? Maybe we should stop stigmatizing it. PS: I vomited in my mouth after typing that. But my general point to that sarcasm, putting any "problem" on a pedestal is stupid. Is covid dangerous, absolutely. 1 death is one too many. But a lot of the same people who go hysterical about covid, claim obesity is fine... and wear masks while alone at home during zoom meetings. There was no way to day 1 avoid deaths no matter the "scientific illiteracy". That's just political rhetoric to sway votes. Just like student loan forgiveness.

  What a stupid, asshole thing to say.

    Yet correct. "Fat is beautiful" is and had been killing far more people than COVID could dream of, year over year, and contributes mightily to the unabashed consumerism that destroys environments and hurdles everyone into misery through climate change from their dietary habits. Supporting obesity out of some misguided "don't be mean" morality should be treated with disgust.
