Coronavirus (COVID-19) is too exciting for adults to discuss (CLOSED)

If someone can sit in the middle of, “We’re all going to die!” and “It’s a hoax!”, that’s me, or at least I’m trying to be that person. So, many times, I’m not trying to make a definitive point as I am trying to put something in perspective when someone sits a little to close to either of those edges for my taste.

What I mean is I’ve seen a lot of argument in this thread about how “comorbidities” (why can’t spell check fucking fix that?) are more responsible than the virus for the deaths to minimize the overall effect of the virus itself...now I am seeing deaths “linked to” the flu, seemingly to make the number look greater by comparison

There seems to be a similar tendency among some of those who would discount virus deaths for comorbidities as not "due to" the virus to project massive suicide increases increases/mental stress related deaths "due to" government policy responses (and vice-versa although I don't think I've seen as much of that here yet). In both cases, the virus' impact on a given person will tend to relate to the person's preexisting physical/mental/socioeconomic condition, but depending on one's preexisting views of government legitimacy/authority, "experts", and their fellow humans, "due to the virus" and "due to the government response" will be inflated or discounted inversely.

I'm wondering how they classified the guy that died after taking the chloroquine-phosphate fish food last month.

Is being an actual moron a comorbidity?

I don't have any room for crude oil as it's all taken up with molding toilet paper. Rats!
How could an increase in suicides be equal to deaths by Covid? That looks like a totally bogus equation. Of course we are seeing a lot of conspiracy theories right now.
