This would be like an assault victim being killed by the ground. When deciding the cause of the death, we should look for the reason behind the events. In a world with COVID, everyone is affected by it. Thus, everyone who dies, is killed by it.

In a world with COVID, everyone is affected by it.

By people's responses to COVID-19. We didn't have to take such an extreme response.

such an extreme response

Wow. Are you one of those anti self defense people? Do you believe that a victim of an assault is obliged to have ideal self control, know every law and avoid using a better weapon? I find this position a bit ridiculous.

In times of crisis, people have to think fast or die. They have to rely on their instincts.

Some people run, some fight. Some institute global totalitarian regimes.

If you want someone to blame, blame Corona.

This is a false equivalence. Comparing the totalitarian response to COVID and the right to self defense makes no sense.

Arguing with an obvious joke?

 

Intuit blames people for imperfect responses in a life-threatening situation. People who want to restrict self defense do the same.

My mistake, I've seen so much crazy stuff lately it's hard to tell what is a joke anymore.
