So people are just a stat to you.

in regards to this topic and conversation... yes. The one person who isn't a statistic is the husband of the one person I do know affected by all this by getting stuck in a ventrilator (causing an 80% statistical chance of death) instead of being administered any of the several treatments just so the hospital could have itself another death statistic to scare people with and another $32k handout from the federal government.

Everyone else is just a statistic, because I don't know them. It would be disingenuous to pretend otherwise.

now you are trying to tell me ventilators kill people?

are you being sarcastic? Or are you really not aware of this risk?
