I think the comparisons to 9/11 are good at highlighting the hypocrisy of the people who wanted to turn the world upside over 3000 dead in NYC but couldn't care less about hundreds of thousands of premature deaths today because a large part of the fault for them is the Republican president.RTHKI wrote:
Media needs to stop talking about covid in terms of how many 911s it is.
I think there is a large amount of people who couldn't care less about anything that doesn't personally affect them. And the Republican party has made "Fuck you, got mine" a fundamental part of their identity. There's no way getting through to those people so what can you do?unnamednewbie13 wrote:
The problem is that people who have adopted covid denial, countermeasures refusal, etc. as a part of their political core beliefs won't care about however many 9-11s it represents or how faster we reached a certain figure than in x war. It doesn't matter how many WW2 documentaries they watch or how many 9-11 t-shirts they won.
You'd think that would be a quick way to their brain, but I guess it's more counterintuitive than that. I guess it's easy to say people should find another way to communicate the seriousness of this event, but I'm stumped over how to communicate something to someone who refuses to hear it.

people were told that masks were unnecessary in the early stage because people were panic buying them. meanwhile inundated frontline workers and healthcare systems were seriously struggling to source them. i think that was a large part of it.unnamednewbie13 wrote:
I bet those two would care an awful lot about how many 9-11s a day we're at or whatever.
Throwing a token out there, I think some of the blame could be apportioned to the CDC for its inconsistent message about the masks from the beginning on. Don't wear masks, now wear masks. I realize that was tied to ongoing research and the risk improper use of masks carries, but I don't think enough emphasis was put on those two last things.
I think it was more that Trump just spouted whatever came into his head.uziq wrote:
