I do not think many understand how bad these variants are. We here in the EU are ahead of the US

3. Perception vs. reality

For starters, it's a bit cold to say, "Even though many more Persons of Color will die than Persons of Whiteness, the absolute numbers are trivial."

I believe that's what you just said, isn't it?

For finishers, whether or not the absolute numbers are significant, the fact is that people are scared about all of this. And, because the numbers are higher for Persons of Color, they are, reasonably, more worried about it than people (apparently) like you.

And, really, the question isn't whether this makes a dent in the population. Really. It's about the fact that (other than invulnerable rational types such as you) people fear having their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and other such types die when, all things being equal, they wouldn't have, absent COVID-19.

So actually. What are you telling us here? "Fear not! Humanity is safe!!" That appears to me to be your helpful message.
