The CDC is now suggesting we may lose 90,000 more people in the next three months. At that point we're knocking on half a millions door.

Scary Covid. The virus hardly anybody gets and barely anybody dies from.
It sure does a great job at destroying economies and businesses, families, and driving people to drugs and suicide though.

You say, “Well, you’re off by tenfold.” And then, you go into COVID’s other effects.
At the beginning, there was one paper that said that the fatality rate was something like 0.1 to 0.3%. That was based on a relatively small amount of data from California back when we weren’t doing a good job of testing. But later, much, much, much larger data sets put the fatality rate at somewhere around 1 or 2%.
Is a 1% fatality rate a big deal?
Oh, my goodness, yes. We would not tolerate anything else in our lives that had a 1% fatality rate.
And it’s not just the fatality rate, though we tend to obsess about that. But many people — the studies ranged from 20% up to around 50% — have what looks like long-lasting or permanent heart damage. I mean, it’s too early to say “permanent,” but it looks like the permanent heart damage that you’d see from other causes.
There is also damage to the brain. They call it “COVID brain” informally. We don’t know whether that cognitive function ever comes back.
And there’s a lot of other bad stuff. There’s damage to blood vessels, those things that are going to be under pressure for the rest of your life. COVID has caused quite a number of aneurysms, which is a ballooning in one of those vessels, a weak spot that is eventually going to break.
So when it comes to COVID, Nietzsche is completely wrong. Even if it does not kill you, it makes you very, very much weaker. So you should definitely avoid it.

Quote:You don't have to kill yourself, if have friends and family. But the kind of friends and family Trumptards have tend toward worthlessness. When a Trumptard is helpful, it becomes a news story. See for example "On the Road" www.cbsnews.com/evening-news/on-the-road/

Will Trumptard "friends" and family help enough to pull other Trumptards out of trouble? Not often, which is why there is only one story per week at "One the Road". It is hard work to find more than one of emotionally satisfying stories where a Trumptard helped. When a Trumptard does help, Trumptards tend to be too cheap, too stingy, too indifferent to provide much help.
6ix, are you still refusing to be vaccinated? Won't wear a mask? Not routinely doing what needs doing is a Trumptard characteristic, along with selfishness, the other distinguishing characteristic.
