as a biologist, i can tell you that this comparison is a false flag and entirely dismisses what a coronavirus is capable of… not to mention how both common colds and influenza have been causing more and more deaths since 2020 😐

And those are always gonna be around anyway. I understand having lockdowns for a year or two while dealing with a new outbreak with a disease like COVID, but at a certain point we’re not just gonna stop living our lives because there’s a chance we might get colds

it seems to me that you are unable to fathom what OP was talking about 😐 some people easily will die if they catch a cold. some people have been permanently disabled due to a singular COVID diagnosis, not even repeated contractions of the virus, at any age or physicality. my professor did 4am hockey WEEKLY with his friends & his team, coached peewee hockey, did labwork, taught college classes, sampled waterways & went fishing daily… long COVID forced him to stop all of that for over 3 years.

I sympathize with that and I agree that we should be more considerate when we’re around people who are more vulnerable. But none of what you just said would justify shutting down the entire world again

i don’t think you fully comprehend what lockdown did… i worked through the whole thing and so did my siblings. i went ice skating bc barely one or two other people would ever be on the ice at one time. i went to my state park, hammocked at the beach, supported my local coffee shop via window ordering… and i was extremely careful, more than most!

Then you were in an area with loose restrictions. That wasn’t the case for me. It might have been a good time for you but I guarantee you it wasn’t for the people who lost their jobs and businesses because of the lockdowns. It was necessary to do that then because we didn’t know much about it and didn’t have a vaccine for it, but now it comes down to your own individual choices. You can still be careful without the government forcing everybody to be

i wasn’t in a high capacity area but i’m in the highest populated city on this side of my state. i lost my job in March (hotel front desk) but i was able to get it back in May once they were struggling hard enough. the government didn’t do enough to prevent this level of an impact, truthfully, after destroying the CDC immunology and pathology departments by firing people left and right who’d been there for decades.
