i always liked the car comparisonIt's at this point I'd like to point out that an epic amount of time, money, and energy goes into regulating and managing the negative safety impacts automobiles have on our lives.
Huge amount of money and effort has gone into engineering the vehicles themselves, enforcement of regulations, the design and construction of roadways, etc.
It never fails that when someone tries to show covid's impact next to things we "don't do anything about" that they're entirely and hilariously wrong about how little has actually gone into minimizing the negative impacts of those things they compare covid to.
car safety (air bags, seat belts, bumpers, etc) are like vaccines - protect ourselves and somewhat others
road rules (stop signs, speed limits, etc) are like restrictions
shit even sometimes roads are closed due to safety concerns (mostly snow,ice)
