Oh yeah? I’ve won the local bad decisions championship 9 times out of the last 10!
The reason I didn’t win last year was because I stayed up all night watching YouTube reaction videos and ended up sleeping through the whole thing, so I consider it a moral victory.
“For a small number of people, the disease could be fatal.” Is three million people a small number? And as others have pointed out, the pandemic isn’t over. who.int/…/the-true-death-toll-of-covid-19-estimat…
I don’t want to be that guy because it is a big number. However, in terms of the human population, there are 8 billion of us and when it comes to the difference between a million and a billion. It is about a billion. So about 0.04% of the human population. Terrible tragedy, yes however it is true.
Calculating impact by dividing the number of deaths caused by a thing that has existed for 4 years over a population size that includes people more than 100 years old won’t arrive at any sort of meaningful number. That’s why you use rates, or per capita, or some other way of adjusting for population size and time. COVID 19 is the third most common cause of death in the US in 2020 and 2021. Calling one of the most common causes of death a small number of people is grossly inaccurate.
Every day it becomes more clear to me that humans evolved to survive to an age where we can have kids, raise them past infancy, and that’s it. Any time you get after that is basically a crime against nature.
