Someone is alive. They become ill with COVID19 and they die. They would have been alive if not for being infected with the virus. PERIOD.
Please just stop with the hocus pocus and pontificating that you utilize to minimize the seriousness of this vexing NEW virus and the disease and damage that it causes. By the way, I ask again, why do you continually downplay the gravity of this public health crisis?
Except that happens EVERY SINGLE YEAR with the routine flus and colds and other viruses, but nobody bats an eye! Why is this one different?
I dont' have to judge, because I know the rules. I live in Ft Lauderdale, which is in Broward country. Having said that, your post proves the problem with the mixed messaging where no one knows who to listen to when everyone is saying something different.
Nice back stroke.... you're good at it, but still incorrect in your assumption.
People should not be forced into economic devastation, which also causes deaths. There are over 40 million people who have lost their jobs and many of them still have not received a cent of unemployment because the system is so backed up.
How do you have a healthy economy with 60,000 new infections each day for the last week with hospitals full, who in their right mind is going to a restaurant or school in one of these states with 10,000 cases.

As per usual you don't know what you are talking about kiddo. The median age of those dead from COVID-19 is older than the median life expectancy in this country and most of those that die have other serious health problems. If the rona didn't get them, they'd still likely have died within the year from something else.
Your fear mongering nonsense might work on the uninformed or on scared boomers, but it won't work on people with first hand experience with COVID-19.

and yet the lights are still on, nukes haven't melted down, air traffic is still being managed, military still operates, the water is still running, garage gets picked up, mail gets delivered, grocery stores still open, etc. etc. etc
How is this possible in the midst of a pandemic? Are we using robots? or AI?

This has been asked and answered repeatedly. If you truly don't understand the difference between this vexing new virus and the flu and the common cold, that information is easily found and is widely available. It is not the cold or flu. It is more dangerous, more contagious, spreading rapidly and has affected many more people. There is no effective treatment or vaccine. These are just a few differences. This pandemic is grave and it is a real public health and security crisis.
If your question was genuine, it will be easy to find answers. You will be served better by obtaining them from a credible source rather than social media/CD.
