“A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.” Stalin
I don’t mean to sound heartless but some honest perspective would be helpful IMO. There are currently more than 7.8 billion people in the world. That’s seven billion eight hundred million (7,800,000,000). One million (1,000,000) though a shocking number is still not even a statistical rounding error in the big picture. As of today CoVid-19 deaths worldwide are estimated to be about two hundred eighty-five thousand (285,000).
None of that matters when it is someone close to you who dies but we are all going to die eventually. It’s part of life. The hype, fear and panic needs to run its course but the sooner all of the over-reaction and nonsense ends, the better.
Being stupid is I guess as good of an excuse as any, at the present time there are approximately three thousand deaths a day from the Corona Virus, that's the equivalent of ten jumbo jet crashes each and every day, do you really believe the government should just sit by and do nothing SMH
BTW my statement applies equally to the shut it all down, as to the I want to be free do what the fuck ever I want consequences be damned.
@OP you are correct this too shall pass.
