we're all going to get coronavirus twice a year for the rest of our lives, our brains wrecked with ptsd, and life expectancy will be in the 55-65 year range.

hug your loved ones, plant the prettiest flowers, enjoy what you can while you can. party's over.

White boomers have basically never experienced any adversity at all ever in their entire lives. They have absolutely no conception of what it is like to have any sort of hardship. "You have to stay at home and can't have dinner parties with your friends and no one will serve you while you shout at them for a few months" is literally the worst possible thing they have ever experienced in their privileged sheltered existence and they are absolutely losing it and it is going to end up killing millions.

human adaptability is a good trait in general but it also means that we end up with our day to day lives feeling normal even if they're incredibly privileged and ultimately led to the "white feelings outrank poc lives" situation we're in now

The migrant crisis exemplifies this pretty well. Poor women and children walking thousands of miles to escape brutal sexual violence and desperate poverty aren't as important as Karen and Kevin in Ohio who are worried that maybe one might be a murderer or "wont work hard enough" or something incredibly stupid and selfish.

Kevin and Karen should maybe walk to another country if they don't like this one, per their own advice

my benchmark has been "what civilians in continental europe had to endure from 1938-1946"

are you and your children spending every night in a bomb shelter? have you been kidnapped, sent three countries over, and forced for spend 100 hours a week in a dark cave making parts for v2 rockets? is there a "mass rape" problem in your town or county? are you literally living the woods to avoid the red army or wehrmacht? have you been rounded up and sent to an extermination camp? no? then shut the gently caress up and stop whining about the terrible unfathomable catastrophe youre experiencing

people - ordinary people, people like you and me - managed to survive all of that, reconstructed their devastated continent, and built new lives for themselves afterwards. corona sucks, but this is a walk in the park compared to what people in living memory have managed to pull themselves through

I think this also is why 9/11 broke so many people's brains, mass casualty events are for over there it was unthinkable our century of foreign adventure might ever come back to haunt us on our own soil

I mean idk the Vietnam War probably counts as adversity for the boomers who got drafted. I'd definitely take dealing with this pandemic over that, that was a horrifying war for pretty much everyone involved

I'm willing to say there's a reasonable chance the US will have more fatalities than all of Europe combined

This will probably be approximately equal to all of South America (most of which are in Brazil who is equally denialist)

Coronavirus has already killed more Americans than the Vietnam war and we're not exactly getting it contained in half the country

the EU alone has 100 million more people so the odds are a bit against it but it's close enough that differences in how they're counted and reported could swamp the population difference

that's what, 30 percent more? A difference in real casualty rates could easily make up that gap and more.

we could basically count the tallies by comparing year on year death statistics and have a pretty good estimate though. this should negate most of the differences between counting strategies
