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?

At BEST, your article says it's too early to determine an accurate case fatality rate.

Case per 100k and case fatality rate are two separate things. From your own article again: The case fatality rate (CFR) represents the proportion of cases who eventually die from a disease.

And you do understand that a large part of the population is either A) has underlying conditions B) is elderly? Not everyone is the pinnacle of health. You keep saying it's no more dangerous than the flu but there is no evidence to support that and all evidence SO FAR to support that it has a higher case fatality rate than the flu. Case fatality rates according to Johns Hopkins using RECENT DATA (not from early spring at the beginning of the pandemic like a lot of your information is) indicate that it can range from 1.4% in South Africa all the way up to 15% in the UK. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

Your civil liberties aren't being trampled because you have to wear a mask to the grocery store dude.

If you're immunocompromised or elderly then you are at risk, just like with seasonal influenza. To the vast majority of everyone else it's no more than a common bad cold.

Case fatality....indicate that it can range from 1.4% in South Africa all the way up to 15% in the UK

Kind of strange to have such a wide discrepancy, right? Being an in-congruent data point means that theres something "off" about the reporting. Once again you missed the point. The mainstream numbers are greatly over inflated old information. Look at any state with these inflated numbers, and you're now staring to see that cracks in the narrative are forming that indicate a wide margin of false reports.

etc....etc....etc....

Your civil liberties aren't being trampled because you have to wear a mask to the grocery store dude.

Slippery slope...dude....when your rights can be indefinitely suspended, conditioning you to accept your submission. Wearing burkas, scarlet letter A, social scoring system, vaxx certificates....You should never compromise on your civil rights, as a citizen it's all that you've got. If this weak virus was as bad as they say, you wouldn't have to convince people to wear a mask.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Since the gov originally said, masks don't work,then said they do, and now we know non N95 masks don't work at all. What is the actual point of forcing you to wear a muzzle, if they are aware of this fact?

So of ALL the people you personally know that have had Covid, what do they say about it's severity?
