I understand you all like to point to your science textbooks, and quote your favorite medical practitioners and CDC gurus when backing up your claims about this pandemic. That's great, well done. Let me introduce you to a scientist many of you are overlooking. His name is Charles Darwin. He figured this out around two hundred years ago. The strong survive, the weak get culled.
The people dying are for the most part old and weak, and have underlying health issues. Don't point to the outliers as confirmation bias. Accept the truth. And while it's unfortunate that we're losing many of our elderly and sick friends and family, the sad reality is that this is bound to happen, so that the surviving members of the species are stronger in future generations. This is nothing more than a natural culling of the herd. Look around you, it happens in the animal kingdom all the time. Popultations of predators grows, they eat all the little animals, the little animals become scarce, all those predators get hungry/sick/die out, repeat. Sure, we're advanced technologically and medically, and we have these feelings now that we are all special and each deserve to live a long, healthy life. That's not realistic, and it isn't backed up by science. How all of you self-admitted geniuses aren't figuring all this out is well beyond my capacity to understand.
Y'all need to buck up and take some truth to the face. If you don't want to get sick, take the Sonatine route and hide out until it blows over. FYI this thing WILL mutate and be stronger next time. Probably want to catch it now while its just a baby rona disease and work up your immunity instead of getting SUPERRONA, which is going to one shot you from full HP to zilch in one cooldown.
