Man all that for a bad flu, terrible. Really just laughable at this point. We've gone from end of the world to bad flu season in a couple weeks and no one bats an eye. Funny how quickly the sheep can be redirected these days.

I'm batting an eye, I know lots of people who care deeply. Lots of people have lost their jobs, they care a lot too.

I think people are just starting to figure out what I posted, we're ahead of the curve quite a bit on this narrative when it comes to the mainstream news. They're going to try and downplay it as much as possible, obviously. However some people are definitely deeply concerned.

I understand the frustration though, because a lot of people are just sleepwalking through life and this whole covid thing have made those people more apparent than ever. But don't write off everyone

Stop the virtue signalling my friend. We all care but it's not mutually exclusive to also caring about other things like the economy crashing or people losing their jobs, uptick in domestic violence and child abuse, suicides, depression, or any number of the other preventable causes of death that the news hasn't brainwashed you into caring about, etc. Get off the virtue signalling train and start having an honest conversation about this pandemic. We expect better of you magnora. When I look at your touted pyramid of debate I don't see virtue signalling as one of the options for a acceptable debate avenue. We got tricked and we need to start speaking honestly about instead of playing their games. We all have grandmother's mother's father's who are older and we all care about those individuals but again not exclusive to caring about what else has gone on. Idk what you mean by "we're ahead of the curve" either. From the post I've seen from you and some others, youve been pushing the fear mongering like everyone else. Now we just switch the narrative and say it's "turning out to be" much lower? Lollollol that's what most of us have been saying from the beginning. So again stop the virtue signalling, we all care it's just that some of us have already realized we've been tricked and have been trying to tell the rest of you for weeks now. All we've heard is "OH MY GOD WE just don't know how bad this could be!!!" And "wait and see!!" And more fear mongering type statements. So idk what you mean by people are starting to see what you're posting, you've been pushing the fear mongering from the start. Sorry just calling it like I see it.

My entire post is about how the flu is much less of a big deal than everyone thought, so I'm not quite sure of your point.
