Dear Seek and Find,
At least the math in this article is correct. But there is a big problem with the approach - sure .2% of all Americans have died of Covid, I guess you think that’s fine, as long as it’s not you or your spouse or your father or your children. But you could make the same argument about cancer, it also kills 600,000 Americans a year. And probably only 10 or maximum 20 percent of Americans have gotten Covid yet (and since we are vaccinated we will never get it). But of the confirmed cases of Covid, about 1.5% have died. Ergo, if everyone in the US eventually gets Covid (and was not vaccinated) 5 million Americans will die. Just 10 times more than US deaths in the Second World War. About as many as died in the Holocaust. Other than that, thanks for the idiotic post.
By the way I still think you are a Chinese disinformation agent, just my opinion.

Yes, you’ve said that before.
And I believe that you are a Russian disinformation agent, just my opinion. I don’t care what you think.

Your argument is with the author. I never said I agreed with him. I post this to elicit responses whether you agree with it or disagree with it.
The numbers are useful for making decisions as an individual, for myself and my family. How likely is it that I or they will die of Covid in the next 18 months, with or without a vaccination, with or without masking, etc.
Comparing Covid deaths to American WWII deaths is not useful. Roughly *70 million* people died in the world last year of *something*. Was that a holocaust because the number is so huge? Or if not, is Covid ignorable because the number of deaths it caused is small, compared to that number?
What’s more relevant, since I want to make rational decisions for myself, is the likelihood that something bad will happen to me, what I can do about it, and how much better off I will be if I do it.
Something is very controversial about your statement on covid.....
“(and since we are vaccinated we will never get it)”. I have seen many statements that are quite the opposite of that. I’ve had the covid, had both shots so thought I should be safe, but some of what I’ve read says otherwise. I honestly don’t know, but I think we are a long way from knowing all there is to know about this situation. I am a senior, so I should imagine another bout with the covid would be the end of me.
