Hadn't looked at the numbers for a while and it's absolutely shocking. We're well on the way to 500,000 people dead in a year and millions more having lost their livelihood, how are there people who are okay with this?

Its not the focus right now apparently, at least if you turn on any news shows/outlets.

Thats where a lot of people get their ideas for the day.

There are always distractions in the news to take away focus. From the GA Senate race. To Trump getting impeached to the Capitol Siege.

Also people more worried about putting food on the table than someone dying in another state that not their own. Let alone COVID in other countries.

4k is so many. It feels like something where nobody takes it seriously until it's too late and it impacts a loved one or themselves.

Has nothing to do with the economy. It's the dumb shit citizens that keep going out for dumb shit.

I live in Atlanta, dont even know what the local news channels are tbf. I can get metro news, which isnt that local and everything in Georgia it seems has been focused on politics or before that riots like when the cnn building got attacked or there was some incident with the cops.

Havent seen a lot of Covid coverage.

It boils down to a lack of empathy. People cant see or dont care how their actions affect anyone else. They only care about themselves.

this is a lesson to learn for the future. Even if true, you (a health agency) cannot say this disease/virus/toxin affects (insert age, religious, sexual or racial minority group here) the worst or else people in general will think theyre invincible and will hear death statistics on tv and think its only the people they dont like who are dying

it shows something is rotten in our society.

if COVID affected evangelical white males aged between 18 and 81 the most, and most other groups would just get a simple flu you would see Fox News crying over the death toll, having 5 minutes of silence for the victims every day and it would probably be illegal, as a crime against public health to not wear a face mask in indoor public places.

you know how certain people get beaten the shit out of and arrested for jaywalking? You would see a lot of people getting beaten the shit out of and arrested for not wearing a face mask too.

CNN seems to have stopped covering it entirely when Biden came in. Coincidence or not, Ill let you decide

Many people who are "okay" with it genuinely believe that there's no way to do any better (or that the side effects of doing so would be even worse).

They're wrong, but they genuinely believe it.

Of course, some are just conspiracist nutters who don't think the virus even exists.

quick glance at CNN website shows a covid story near the top, right under the story about the insurrection. i dont know what they show on the channel, isn't it mostly bullshit talkshows modeled after fox? if so i'd guess its specifically geared to the braindead that watch that channel 24/7... just like fox...
