Humans die, it’s sad but a part of life. So far, the # of deaths in the US from this thing, that’s likely been here since December, hasn’t even hit a blip for top items of death here in the states or any other county for that matter. Shutting down our entire economy - to “bend the curve” - is far worse and will kill way more people.
People cannot handle the idea that sometimes life just sucks and that it’s okay if it does.
Frankly, wars aside many people in the West have had so long a time where life didn’t seem to suck so much that they’ve become fragile wimps, even snowflakes, who get scared at any shadow.
