    Hey, if you want to stand in line 6 foot away from the person in front and behind you in a 2 hour line to buy more toilet paper, breathing in all that Covid infused air from all the other people in the line, be my guest.

    I'll dip in, grab what I need, and dip out, as usual.

    You have fun in your Covid cloud. I'm sure it'll stop 6 feet away and you won't be walking into it standing in line.

    Really smart.

    Yet the hut dwelling countries had like 2 deaths. Go figure how that happened.

    Did you just try to compare the Wuhan virus to the Spanish flu?

    So I should just do the opposite of what Fauci is suggesting. Got it.

    Please do not inject Bleach just because Trump suggested it might help.

    Yeah I figured you'd try that.

    Now show me that they died from Covid.

    All it says is that they died.

    You'll note they included suicides in there. Somehow suicide is covid related now.

    Find me another pandemic which convinced multiple countries to shutter their economies while also killing hundreds of thousands in a few months. Go on. I'll wait.

    There is literally a link to an article for every name, which numbers more than 1000, on that list.

    But if you want to get access to their death certificate or dig up their body to prove that they really died from Covid-19, you go for it.

    The notion of "it's OK if the elderly die" is both callous and idiotic.

    Some of the people that I love most in this world are the elderly or have pre-existing conditions. I do not fear this virus because I think it will kill me, my wife, or my toddler. I fear this virus because I think it will suck if they get it and that it can very easily kill loved ones who are elderly or have pre-existing conditions.

    Once again, Covid-19 causes pneumonia. That's why it is so deadly.

    I've been through that list of 74 year olds and suicide victims.

    You see, I tried to research this issue already.

    There is no data on how many of them died from Covid.

    You're just making **** up again.

    So why didn't we shut the world down in 2016.

    Because there wasn't a once in a century global pandemic event in 2016. Let me know when you have found one besides Covid-19 and the Spanish Flu of 1918.

    Yeah only 3 million people died globally from a contagious respiratory disease.

    It made no sense to shut down then.

    Leftist logic.

    Pneumonia is the result of a variety of ailments. From Fungi, to Viruses, to Bacteria.

    https://www.healthline.com/health/is-pneumonia-contagious

    It is not automatically contagious and thus, the 3 million dead from pneumonia in 2016 were pneumonia caused by a whole host of situations - none of which were worse enough on their own to create a global pandemic.

    That and I would argue that those who committed suicide really did die to covid-19. Seeing that much death and destruction would effect anybody and feeling powerless to stop it even though you go into the profession to stop it would be devastating.

    That'd be like you going into law, only to find that your best law practices can't help your clients. I imagine that would be devastating(albeit obviously to a much lesser extent).
