Why do Redditors make fun of the 'security theatre' of the TSA but lose their shit over people not wearing a thin piece of cloth over their face?

Talks about mortality are all a little misleading tbh.

COVID19 appears to be much less harmful than influenza among healthy youth. What ends up happening is that media propagate freak outlier stories about a 18yo dying from COVID as if it is normal when the reality is that- 1) The victim was morbidly obese or 2) Freak complications arose which happens with every disease including influenza.

COVID has skewed mortality. It badly fucks up the elderly and the very fat which is unfortunately a large part of the States.

Agreed. If you read deep enough into the story you often find that the younger victims, and even a lot of the more elderly, had diabetes or cancer or other serious issues already.
