Does it seem surreal so many people died

[Jumper Geo]

If you look at how many people died in your Country does it seem surreal, remember it's only been roughly 10 months, in the UK we had 55,024 deaths which seems unbelievable i suppose if you take into consideration the indirect deaths. I suppose we could probably double that figure

Depends on how you look at it. I believe our old friend Joseph had a nice way of putting it. "The death of one is a tragedy, the death of millions is just a statistic."

Love that quote.

In the US and probably other parts of the world they're inflating the numbers. If you have Covid and die in a car wreck they count it as a Covid-19 death. I think we won't know the true impact of this pandemic for years if not decades.

Yes I noticed the news as well people dying of heart attacks or cancer who had covid antibodies were counted as covid deaths, I'm not complaining the UK are finally winning something in Europe, bad joke I am sad at all the deaths especially people with a loving family who are not able to be by there side or a final hug, it is really sad but like I said it seems so surreal as you hear the daily figures but they soon add up and they think the first death occurred in January 2020.

First UK coronavirus death may have occurred in January

Office for National Statistics said more deaths could emerge as a result of work by coroners

There does need to be an honest accounting of complications and incidentals that's true.

Apparently in the UK we will be forced in a nice way to have the Covid-19 vaccine this is just the start you need to bring your passport with you and your GP will stamp it, now I know what will be coming next if you apply for any job, travel or probably receive job seekers benefit you will have to bring your passport to prove you had the vaccine.

I'm a US citizen and at the start of the pandemic I actually thought america would come off well but only for two reasons:

1. Trump was very fast to close the border
2. Americans live in much lower density lifestyles than many other countries

However, once trump began the crusade to basically say "its all fine" I knew it was going to be a disaster. I actually suspected the worst hit countries would be the asians simple due to the insane density in the cities and the reliance on the public transit but their high IQs kept them mostly unscathed.. I'm very shocked at the #s out of taiwan and japan, the public health measures implemented in those two must have been pretty phenomenal

His false confidence made his people not take it seriously. If he would have told them to take it seriously and passed a big stimulus the US would have been at like 95%+ compliance and he would have been re elected in a landslide. He may have even won the popular vote by a hair. There are many who theorize here in the US that trump secretly wanted out.
