So what, different countries are different? What a shock!

[–] seanchai@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you're the one who said almost no one is dying from covid and you shouldn't care about cases. I'm telling you that is a really selfish and factually inaccurate statement. Go be grumpy at someone else

Its factually accurate in my country. Not everyone lives wherever you live.

[–] seanchai@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, exactly not everyone lives where you live. So it is wild to act like the covid pandemic is over and say "why should anyone care"

Im not the one acting as if covid is still a global pandemic. Again, in my country its over. So we here are in the purple section of the original image.

In the last seven days: 500k confirmed cases in Japan, 375k in Russia, 372k in South Korea, 300k in China, 250k in USA, 200k in Germany, 166k in France, 112k in Italy, 65k in Australia

Hmmmmm, seems pretty fucking global to me. And whether it's present in your country or not, it's ridiculous to say "why should anyone care"

People should care because human beings are dying and becoming permanently disabled

People should care because whether you personally are in danger or not, human lives are at risk, and other people being sick should be enough to care about.

Human lives are at risk from many causes. Do you know how many millions of people have to live in countries ravaged by war?

[–] seanchai@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

uhm...is this somehow an argument not to care? You should care about that too. What the fuck?
