There are many differences between COVID and the flu. As for the OP's comments, I guess he is literally correct in the sense that everyone dies one day. Also, 20% of COVID deaths might amount to "a lot", I dunno.

Leading cause of death in the US is heart disease with 655k deaths per year. Averages around 1800 deaths a day. Last few weeks we averaged around 3k deaths per day due to covid. Atleast you cant give someone heart disease.

If we had no mitigation can you imagine the amount of deaths? Lets be real here you can believe people on twetch and twitter bit even with preventative measures its kicking our ass.
That's really where the numbers and facts would come in.
A) What mitigation strategies have been done that worked? How well?B) Which ones did not work?
C) Which ones should we have tried but didn't?
D) What are the costs and benefits of these strategies?
Mask. Number are up in counties with no mask mandate. Lockdowns are tough government should have paid us to stay home and not worried about corporations. The numbers went down but people got laxed the protest the rallies summer hit everyone listening /1
To twitter doctors were like "this is bull shit" people took it less serious. Numbers shot back up.
Masks are a no brainer. "Lockdowns" is a very ill defined term. I think an actual extreme lockdown would've helped in the beginning, no place in the world did that.
"Lockdowns" actual turn out to mean little other than senseless government harrasment.
And winter just started. We in for it my dude and it hasnt been a year yet. We will be at abput 500k by the time February comes around making just about a full year.
If heart disease being the leading cause of death were contagious....everyone would be going nuts right now. The pandemic is real man. I think people just want to see people dying in the streets to believe it. Careful what you wish for
