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.

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.

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.

https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/

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.

How many percent of the entire planet was killed during the Spanish Flu?

Don’t know. Don’t care.

Evidently you are mathematically impaired.

RE: Evidently you are mathematically impaired.

Really? Did I show any mathematical analysis in my asking the question? I was simply trying to make a comparison between one pandemic and another, one which did NOT cause the world to shutdown and one that did.

Apparently you are a mind reader and not a very good one at that.

100 x (number of deaths) / (world population) = percent

I know the mathematical formula. So, let’s apply that to 1918-20 and ask ourselves how serious it is today compared to what it was then? There was no vaccine for the Spanish flu.

Estimates are between 1 and 5 percent of the world population died from the Spanish flu.

" 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."

"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?

IF those numbers are accurate and not inflated for fear mongering and justifications for power grabs.
