Take the US approach as an alternative... a 9/11 worth of deaths every 1.5 days? More deaths then both world wars and Vietnam combined?

If you're relatively young and healthy, it's easy to frame this pandemic as "no big deal", but many of us also believe that there's a fundamental element to civil society that requires compassion for the vulnerable.

If this was about compassion and caring for our fellow man there would be a lot more discussion about the personal responsibility of exercise, eating clean, not being obese, etc etc. The top killers are heart disease and diabetes. Also, doctors that are advocating for medicine that can cure the disease wouldn't be censored. Scientists that advocated against vaccinating into an active pandemic so as to not put selective pressure on mutations wouldn't be silenced. This is about control and money though; there is no fair play or goodwill by the media or captured government institutions.
