Well, not using your seat belt or smoking is not contagious in the biological
sense. Certain families have a mental defect where they don’t wear seat belts
and or smoke and they pass that along to offspring with social norms... but my
kids can’t catch it from your kids. And it certainly is not on the uptick in
an exponential way.
Norovirus on cruise ships is handled with about as much alarm as coronaviurs.
We all do care and that doesn’t normally kill you. Just gives you the shits
really bad and makes you wish you were dead. But during an outbreak it is a 5
alarm fire to put it out.
Is it easily transferred?
Is it growing exponentially?
Will it kill you?
If the answer is yes to those, care about it much more than other things.

I don't think that's incredibly relevant to the core point. No one seems to
give a shit about things that kill us every day in great quantity, but they do
now about one particular thing.

And in two months of covid-19 we will exceed the annual deaths of flu... It's
going to be interesting to see what people say in a year when we are looking at
200,000 plus of covid and then what is going to be the comparison?

I don't think those are great comparisons but I think the Flu is. 66,000 died
last year from the flu in the US and we still managed to walk around and shake
hands. But hey, if you think you might die, stay home.

Why don't we put out graphs every year when we reach that many automobile
deaths, or flu deaths, or heart disease deaths, or any other deaths in a
specific category? Sensationalism and fear mongering rule the day.

Why is that surprising. How many people did we put in country throughout
the war? There are 330 million here. If we had put 330 million through Vietnam,
we would have "won" and lost even more.
I keep seeing the Vietnam thing and then laugh at the thought that those
present it also present statistics

Interesting that today, April 28, we surpassed in a couple of months
the number of US personnel killed in the Vietnam war over the course of 20
years (1955-1975).
