900,000 people not 80,000 have died over the past few weeks...

Of course, these other 800,000 plus who have died are just not very important or worthy of any mention, grief, or political consideration. Apparently death only matters to people when there is someone to blame (or they believe there is someone to blame).

The reality here is that out of these 900,000 people who have died since the Covid-19 breakout, probably the least "preventable" of these deaths were the ones attached to Covid-19. After all, these are not the result of bad health, poor life choices, or anything long term.

These were people who caught a virus that we know almost nothing about. We have no vaccine, no cure, no reliable treatment. Nobody knew it was coming, and there isn't a country in the world that has figured out a way to defeat the virus as of yet. No matter how people have reacted, the virus has taken it's toll.

Yet, these are the deaths that make people want to point political fingers or call people out for "not taking them seriously enough". Reality here folks is dying is dying. Whether you die from Covid-19 or a heart attack, you are still dead. Of the two, the heart attack was probably the one that was more preventable and it likely took a longer portion of someone's life away.

So get off your high horse, people. If you want to demand that the entire country needs to be shut down for 80,000 deaths, but don't seem to care about the other 800,000... then what sort of person are you? You certainly cannot claim any moral high ground here and attack the people who want to live their lives. So shut the hell up.
