No chance either of you could ever feel compassion when all this alarmist stuff inconvenienced you so much.
I hope that when your times come, and they will, that nobody minimizes the importance of your existences.
I'm sure you could do a better job than your chief medical officer.

.16% does seem like a lot.
Every death does "diminish me by one" but being an alarmist about everything, makes everything nothing. (See: boy who cried wolf)
We lose more people to heart disease EVERY YEAR over what covid took. (Heart disease: 659,041)
We lose as many people to cancer EVERY YEAR. (Cancer: 599,601)
If we're going to be alarmed, we should probably start with what we're eating every day versus a one time event. Perspective. It doesn't mean that people's lives aren't important but it does mean stepping back from what scaring you today to see what's killing everyone all the time.
