Perspective:
Socially acceptable... Hundreds of thousands die from drinking, smoking, drugs, and being overweight... which they do to themselves. They didn't catch it nor can they spread it to others.
Yet people rationalize that Covid kills far less people (so it shouldn't be taken serious?), but its not a personal choice that you do to yourself, you can unknowingly catch it, and unknowingly spread it to others. Infecting others, making them sick or dead.
Not the same as drinking, smoking, or drugs.... It's not a personal choice that only affects them. Covid kills others. There's no comparison. Perspective.
