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

6. I understand what you're saying

I do remember, back at the beginning, people talking about COVID-19 as the end of humanity. I'm not aware that there are so many now saying that.

So it seems to me you're flogging a straw man.

"Don't worry, little people! Humanity will survive the COVID-19."

What is the use of that message?

It doesn't change the fact that caution can prevent excess mortality.

Are you saying that people should just carry on as before, since this virus surely won't kill all of humankind? If so, that's some cold stuff. Again: are you good with this message when the COVID calls for you or your loved ones?

My best understanding of what you're saying is this: "Human population is a problem. So do not be disturbed by anything that reduces the human population. In fact, it's sad that COVID-19 is making no dent. What we need to find is something that will drastically reduce the human population, but not wipe it out altogether."

Have I got this right?
