Honestly, death comes to us all. My dad died five years ago this week. Death is tragic, but the world keeps moving.
The main thing I've concluded based on people's reaction to the death tolls is that much of our population has not come to terms with their mortality and hate being reminded of it.
This is strange logic... since we all are going to die anyway, we shouldn't worry about causes of preventable death?
So i guess we don't need drunk driving laws... only about 10,000 people a year die in the US from drunk drivers, they were going to die anyway. The world keeps on moving.
No reason to work on curing cancer. Dead someday anyway.
Yes, death comes to us all. That has no bearing on whether we should work to prevent death.
I’ve been wondering if we’ll see a drop in deaths in the future too. A lot of the deaths are people that wouldn’t live much longer anyway. If 2 years from now the death rate is 17% lower we only lost an average 2 life-years of the 17% population, which is tragic, but is it more tragic for the other 99.3% of people to lose 1 life year because of that?
For one thing, we lost 447,000 so far WITH all of the quarantining and shut downs... that number would have been WAY higher if we had done nothing. The hospitals would have been completely overwhelmed, and many who survived would have died.
