In case you haven’t noticed, the plain world, as a whole, doesn’t care about the mainstream hysteria about covid and doesn’t agree with societal lockdowns and social isolationPeterG wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 2:56 pmI don't know, and neither do you. This is a disease that spreads exponentially.
But let's just assume that COVID is roughly equal in severity to the seasonal flu. (I doubt this very much, but for the sake of discussion...) I find it hard to comprehend how people could go ahead with something that they realize will result in the spread of a flu equivalent through an entire community, and that the disease would be similarly spread to other communities also.
Maybe nobody died. Maybe "only" a couple of people were hospitalized. But maybe works both ways. And at the very least a large number of people from multiple communities caught and spread something like the flu (assuming, again, that COVID and the flu are equally severe).
The plain world concentrated in places like Holmes Co. hasn’t had an excess in deaths either - indeed, they have a lot less than other places, and their hospitals have never been full. Their vaccination rate is the lowest in the country.
Nobody in the plain world cares about covid anymore unless they’re a hypochondriac. People like you who complain about it should really think about exiting the plain world and finding a liberal community that shares your views.
