>>12392871The number of deaths isn't really what is at issue here. By that same metric, the United States has 3 9/11's every day from all causes. The reason that we don't freak out about this is because it is natural. Your grandparent dying of a flu is sad, your grandparent being murdered is much more insidious. The narrative of the deaths is what matters, and frankly death due to covid19 is basically in the same realm as death due to the flu - an act of nature inherent to our existence as human beings in a society. Plus the people dying are already close to dying of other causes anyways, as opposed to 9/11 which killed many young people with lives ahead of them.
