Wtf. It’s easy to say that now after covid variants have become decreasingly virulent as they became increasingly transmissible, but it was absolutely not mostly harmless. The human species won the lotto with how it evolved, but just spin that to play to our political leanings. I’ll take the downvotes for saying this, but with all respect, please just duck off back to “doing your own research” in whatever echo chamber you prefer.
- wolverine876 4y agoWe won the Lotto? Over 6.8 million people, including over 1 million Americans died. Many more suffer from long-term damage. The economic cost was astronomical.
- mrexroad 4y agoSorry, yeah, we’re in agreement here, my comment was poorly worded — I meant the death rate and global economic damage would have been beyond catastrophic had it become more virulent as it became more transmissible. Yes, it was bad, really bad (my healthy 40y/o friend was on death bed at start), and to hear someone say it’s “not that bad” or “no worse than a bad cold” is beyond the pale. I think my lotto comment was more in line of, “do you know how fucked we would be had it become more virulent while you all played along with games of politicizing masks and vaccines?” Sigh.
- wolverine876 4y agoYes, I agree completely.
