Of course they're not in the politics folder, the virus is not political.
The virus kills Democrats, my fellow Republicans, and miscellaneous alike.
The only way for us to overcome it is in uniting Democrats, my fellow Republicans, and miscellaneous alike.
The vaccine enjoys broad approval and in ~9 months that would probably be enough to succeed.

But where I come from, Americans don't wait around to have success handed to them.
Where I come from, Americans are willing to make small sacrifices for each other.
Where I come from, Americans aren't afraid of hard work.

I come from the United States of America.

From the halls of New York City
To the shores of Texas state
To the spacious skies of Montana
To the amber waves of Kansas
To the purple mountains of Alberta
The curvaceous slopes of California
The Stone Mountain of Georgia
Every hill and molehill in Ottawa
Every village and hamlet
Every state
Every city

Every one of us are God's children, and every one of us can speed up that blessed day when we can once again join hands and sing.

If you can honestly look at this grand experiment renewed in the face of global calamity and only see politics, I pity you.

Then consider me pitied. If you can honestly look at the data from this grand constitutional overreach and destruction of livelihoods over a cold that only killed 0.06% of our population in an entire year and not see any reason for concern, then I pity you.

For the record I pity you because you repeat such arithmetically untenable claims; you're not that bad at math, but you willingly pretend you are, it's hard to watch.

You're right, actually. We're now up four more 1/100ths of a percent to 0.1%. Thanks for pointing that out.

34,157 people died from flu in all of 2018. COVID has killed 334,239 in the US with 7 days left in the year. We are losing 3000 people a day right now so add another 20k to that figure.

Comparing that number to the total population may make it seem miniscule but I don't think our hospitals, first responders, healthcare workers, and families of the dead feel its miniscule.

See, some people just don't get it...almost twenty years of the PC and you develop a thick skin to rival a rhino's.

I stomp the ground, and snort, to alert you that you are in my breeding territory...

It doesn't "seem" miniscule, it "IS" miniscule. Certainly not worth ruining the lives of the other 327,600,000 people. It's an acceptable loss. That's not cruel. That's pragmatic. You may need to look up that definition.

Yeah, ignoring it does not seem pragmatic at all. Ignoring it is neglegent bordering on criminal if not genocidal.

Pragmatic is wearing a mask, social distancing, washing your hands, and getting tested.

I'll certainly allow you to have your view of pragmatism in this situation if you and your kind are willing to let me have mine. You know, freedom. I've no issue with folks taking these precautions. Just don't presume to tell me what I need to do in my own situation by mandating masks and closing schools, businesses, etc.
