Reply to comment by gh234ip in NY sees a 30% spike in COVID deaths in December, most since early 2022 by [deleted]

Always awesome that every covid thread has the guy to jump in to remind everyone that it was ok 1.1 million and counting Americans have died of covid because they were old and/or had conditions that make them morally expendable (to psychopaths).

Really important work. Thank you for your service.

Or maybe they feel like theyre reassuring people who are scared of dying from covid but are unlikely to? No need to look at everything so cynically.

That poster said nothing like that. Did you actually read the article or you prefer to take us on this tangent?

why so binary ??

sheesh, just because one person is looking at actual numbers for some perspective (a 100% percentage increase from 1 would be 2 - which is a huge increase but not a lot) doesn't mean they dont care about life. you have NO idea if they know someone who died. lost a friend or whatever.

I dont like the colour white - oh you must love black! is your logic here. not great huh

​

as someone else pointed out maybe theyre trying to control their anxiety levels a bit.

you know how New Zealand did so well? they used a slogan 'Be Kind'

I'm always impressed by people like you who suddenly got extremely concerned about the vulnerable population, even though I bet it never once crossed your mind before 2020 that you should be doing something to protect severely immunocompromised people like my cousin.

Older, weaker, and immunocompromised people existed before, were in serious danger from viruses, and you never gave one fuckin shit about it until it became popular to do so.

Always awesome that someone wants to jumps in to repeat something from an article apropos of nothing to remind everyone that it was ok 1.1 million and counting Americans have died of covid because they were old and/or had conditions that make them morally expendable (to psychopaths).

Really important work. Thank you for your service.

It’s a misrepresentation not to call out the realities. Our average lifespan is now back to normal, most of these people would be dying from something else at this point if not Covid.
