It is supposed to be bad. It is a comedy show.

That was some funny shit though. The interviewer dude asking the questions was so on point.

15000 sounds bad if you wanna focus in that.
But that mean there's almost 334 million that aren't hospitalized with covid. Sad but still small potatoes

Again, if you're the one in the thread arguing that 15,000 largely-preventable deaths are fine and a rounding error, some introspection is in order.

Just so I have some perspective, what's the magic percentage of the population that has to die before you consider this a big deal?

In other words, if/when someone you love gets Covid and gets seriously ill (and dies?), you're cool with people telling you it's sad but we shouldn't really care because it's just one potato?

This isn’t the total. This is just the folks in ICUs right now. A slice of right this second of how many ICU deaths. Not the people that will never make it to an ICU. Not the 650,000 (entire state of Vermont) or the tens or hundreds of thousands of future preventable deaths.

i think some forget that these numbers are happening WITH mitigation

one can only imagine where we’d be if we just sat by and “let” covid run roughshod through the population

There would certainly be a mutation also that came from no mitigation that would be deadlier too.

[Deleted User 863]

We know that for certain?

Isn't it just as possible that mutations can result in a less deadly strain becoming dominant? Historically do viruses tend to get more or less deadly?

Or the number of children, now that the delta variant is putting our kids in hospitals.

Oh, absolutely. I was just zeroing in on the particular heartlessness in not giving a shit about these 15,000 soon-to-be dead people, whose deaths are largely preventable but for dumbshit grandstanding.

My post was to highlight and expound your point, not challenge. Anyone that downplays the deaths is sick in the mind.

But that's not how trolls work.

Speaking of Delta

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... ce=twitter

Delta Air Lines will impose a $200 monthly surcharge on employees who aren’t vaccinated against Covid-19, becoming the first major U.S. company to levy a penalty to encourage workers to get protected

Carnival and Disney following Royal Caribbean's lead with vax requirements on Florida port departures.

Will be fun to watch DeSantis run into his doghouse when Disney calls for a vaccine requirement at its parks.

Well if enforcement is anything like their mask rules inside the parks then I doubt it will matter much.

Some businesses make rules for safety. Others make rules for optics.

I am not sure which Disney will be, but they have mask rules and they weren't really being enforced when i was there in June.

Middle of June.

Some restaurants inside the parks were closed. But we still had a wonderful time. Especially at Animal Kingdom.

Vax requirement quite a bit different in practice.
