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

Funny how conservatives frame certain stats when it suits their narratives. highlighting a 50% increase in covid rates is "alarmism" but a 30% increase in crime is some real shit though I bet, huh?

Murder rate is 3.5 per 100k, just fyi. Is that the threshold we have to cross before conservatives care?

Everyone dies from murder. I had cover twice and was asymptomatic both times. It was a great way to have paid time off and get into fighting shape. HR called asking for updates and my response was "I'm breaking an 8 minute mile for the first time in 20 years".

That's the daily covid rate, not annual. Covid has killed waaaaay more people than have died from murder in NYC. Just really highlights how full of shit conservatives are about everything they claim to care about.
