Three people.

I know one person who has died and one who has been diagnosed. 

I don't personally know anyone whos has died from it therefore it's completely made up

Won’t even entertain the idea that the risk is extremely exaggerated then?

my whole family died from it. cousins, great-aunts, family dogs and hens, livestock, ducks and grandchildren

also, everyone i ever met. by that i mean postmen, cashiers, waitresses... all dead from it

Why is there only bullshit coming from you, drome?

Could say the same about you.

What are you all about?

You think it’s worth ruining the livelihoods of millions of people over a statistically small mortality rate?

none.

... i also don't know any ppl from turkmenistan, ppl who traveled into space or who died in a car crash... come to think of it i don't know much shit directly in general. wooah, has my whole life been a lie??!

The mortality rate is significant enough that extra measures need to be taken to prevent fucking loads of us dying before a vaccine is ready.

It's not hard to understand.

Absolutely facile comebacks.

You keep sticking rigidly to your scripts.

Obviously no room for reasonable discussion here.

So I’m the idiot for daring to question this debacle.

You’re like a bunch of cultists.

I certainly will and you stick to the script in an effort to maintain your sanity.

You haven't presented any arguments supporting your views, whatever they actually are - you're just challenging people to waste their time trying to convince you of things you will never accept, because you've bought into conspiracy theories, dis- and misinformation, hook, line and sinker. You're a troll with nothing scientifically verifiable - and what is worse, falsifiable - to say, so you're goading any and all on so you can keep self-reinforcing whatever it is that you think you know. There is no discussion to be had here, it's not beneficial in any shape or form to try and reason with you, because you're so far gone that accepting anything else than what you think is true would cause massive cognitive dissonance because you've invested so much of your person into unsubstantiated false beliefs. Some might find your schtick amusing and entertaining and thus keep egging you on - I won't.

Yes, they would be much higher. The problem with prevention is, that its effects are not directly visible. If prevention is successful people tend to think no prevention is needed anymore because everything is good (prevention paradox).

Hardly anyone is dying. Look around you. It’s not that difficult.

Wow that's a great argument.  Nobody around me is dying of hunger or cancer or war either, so I guess those problems are overblown, too.

it's the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. it also leaves people with permanent damage to lungs, heart, and brain. 

if we wanted to wait until we all know someone who has died from it, we can do that. we are trying to not do it that way.

Exactly, and unlike cancer and many other diseases and disorders, we know how to 100% prevent catching this one so why not do your part.

I live and work in the hardest hit place in my state.  We had our three worst days of the pandemic this week.  Still seem to be going ahead with our reopening plan as scheduled, even as surrounding states with proportionately far less severe spikes are shutting down.

At work the only thing they changed is that they set up a table across the room from where I work so people can take lunch there to avoid having two people in the break room at one time.
