Well if you're gonna tell me a virus is gonna try and stop us from doing things we find important then we're gonna make sure to get together as much as we can. We have values here, we don't just see each other for business.
And that's why you are all dying. ''Muh freedom''.
Who's dying? Death rates are going Down.

But still has one of the highest per capita death rates in the world. Climbing down from the top rung of a burning ladder is hardly a cause for celebration.

plz reconcile the fact that there is a huge spike in cases but death rates are still dropping.

You didn't seem to understand what I just wrote. Yes, deaths are dropping. But they are dropping from Everest. That is not a success story.

Stalin was right. If enough people die then it becomes an easily ignorable statistic instead of a tragedy.

Oh no we're number 7 behind: Belgium, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Sweden, and France

That's half the 1st world and we aren't even top 5.

or are you conflating total numbers and per capita again?

still haven't reconciled, why number go down when number go up? what changed

For the anti-vaccination idiots, not of the ones they endanger with their idiocy.

Like their own children, for instance. Because the slight chance of them being autistic is worse than the high chance of them DYING...
