But if you say that at your woke corporation job you can be fired.

“Needlessly”?

I would argue more like purposely.
But that just my take.

[Ahithophel]

Nicely formatted post, with links. Well done.

Covid has become both a virus as well as a IQ test.

People either fear it or roll their eyes.

Tragically way too many fear it.

[firebrand]

Which is worse, to live in fear of the things you mention or to live with the actual feared things themselves?

I’m not speaking of the “loss of liberty,” which is in no way real in this discussion, since nothing being considered is mandatory by government. Things may be mandatory by private clubs and corporations, which has always been okay unless they are unconstitutional.

Covid-19 deaths pass three million worldwide

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-56783878

There are currently 7.9 billion human beings on Earth.

100 x 3,000,000 / 7,900,000,000 = 0.038%

We shut down the entire planet for a “plague” that has killed 0.038% of the population.

" the idea that everyone is dangerous until proven healthy"

"Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government."

[Fungi]

"But according to Hudson, the 3.4% represents case fatality rate (CFR), which is the number of deaths from COVID-19 divided by the number of cases of COVID-19, while the 1% is infection fatality rate (IFR), or the number of deaths divided by all infected individuals.

Explain how "the number of cases" differs from "all infected individuals." Does not "all infected individuals" represent "the number of cases?" What is the difference?

Lysol has listed corona virus on it’s can for years.

[Freee-dame]

Will we ever get to ..... quarantine the sick, protect the vulnerable, inform the public as fully as possible to let them make their own decisions about personal risk choice? This is what should’ve happened last year as early as two weeks to flatten the curve in three weeks to slow the spread.

[Drago]

Current “IFR” for “Sars-Cov-2” (COVID-19) in the US: 1.8%
IFR for worst influenza season in the last 10 years: ~0.17%

That is 10x for COVID-19.

never trust a government that opens its border and distributes thousands of disease carrying invaders across its country during a so called pandemic...

Most famous young person to contract covid was probably Barron Trump. He was over it in what, a day and a half?
