Not only the hysteria, the grossly inflated number. See my above posts. I will bet you a nickel he won’t come back with anything BUT a weak statement thst I am a moron. He won’t counter the arguments or present his source data with analysis (though we know where he gets it). The reason he won’t is because he is either incapable or can or admit he is wrong.

When millions don’t die, some people are going to be secretly disappointed. You’re correct, part of it is the human nature of not wanting to admit to accepting new data that does not fit with previous conclusions.

The other part is a deep seated need with some people that to feel significant, they want to think they lived during an historically significant time. They get very upset if you tell them, no, historically this virus is not the equivalent of the bubonic plague, the Antonine plague, polio, or smallpox.

Thank you for articulating the psychology of these sheep.

You're exactly right.
