I was thinking of posting this to /pol/ with >nb4 caveats, but that place is such a shithole I decided against it. I also think /sci/ probably has more valid shit to say about SARS-CoV-2 than /pol/. Maybe.
First, would you agree that
>Covid-19 basically only affects 20% of people and of those 20%, only a minority die even adding in deaths from other causes counted as pandemic (no figures on hand ATM, but I remember it's been linear and small)
>Deaths seem related to things that kill people anyway like blood clots, obesity etc. They are either in and out of the system or about to die any way
>Expensive
>Socially and mentally draining
>Keeps people inside leading to obesity
>Not conspiracist, but it does destroy small business and put big business on top... Ulterior motives can develop
>People are too fucking dumb about the virus. Undermines education cuz cognitive dissonance leads them along a path of moral supiority
>Can't get flu shot during finals cuz of how poorly shit's been handled
>Slows science, careers, etc...
>OCD habits people will have to break assuming they even realize these habits were made for an extreme situation. New extreme social expectations that people aren't consistent on
>Encourages social media addiction
>Crime
>Ups social unrest
>Poorer> worse health > coping > more expenses > death. Social unrest > fires + other > death. Psych issues > suicide/murder/drugs/other > death. Crime > poorly tracked deaths
>IDK about complications argument, but seems the coronavirus pandemic was called just cuz they were concerned about emerging stats. If not for that, then it's a flu. Why EVEN care about severity if lethality's low and there's no significant permanent damage?
And given all/any of that, does anyone else feel like maybe the quarantine isn't worth it now? Does anyone else feel as though they're just salty we didn't react to this correctly from the get-go?
I'm not an extremist AFAIK nor any sort of alt-righter etc. I'm just tired...
