Covid is preventable, it can be prevented.

Stop trying to use your made up 600k number that takes every single ellement of earth out of context, to win an argument.

I could just as easily pick a 250k deaths by flu year to say the flu klls 250k people a year.

The flu killing 200-600k people per year does not average 600k people. Ergo, your data is false and makes your arguments irrelevant.

Note that please. NOTE IT, everyone.
The point is obviously that we do not respond to flu in this way, yet we are responding to covid in this way, when they have nearly identical fatality rates. Why, specifically, should we enforce masking (and I would also argue paranoid overzealous lockdowns, given the numerous collateral downsides of such lockdowns) for covid but not for the flu? The point of this question is to get you to interrogate your own logic. It's almost rhetorical but not quite. Pointing out that some number isn't the right number doesn't answer the question.
