Yeah from a natural standpoint, mother nature/god/universe/flying spaghetti monster/M theory/evolution/pick one has brought these organisms to exist as what we would call "life" so by that school of thought, they earned it.

a virus isn't exactly alive by the terms with which we would usually define life. its organic for sure, very very different from bacteria though.

Sure theres living things that suck for humans, that just sucks for us. The spectrum of life is vastly diverse. We humans do take great measures to place or remove other forms of life, nature gave us the ability to do so. So we do. We plant gardens, we kill weeds, we disinfect toilets, we raise animals on massive factory farms etc.

This concept however, applied to a human civil rights debate is abhorrent.

But bacteria and virus's are alive, and we need them.

Our planet is too overpopulated and we will need them to reduce that, This pandemic isnt that bad, but future ones will be. With a high population its very easy for them to spread

go look at how many cases they have in wyoming or idaho

our population density is too high in this world, we need to lose 60% or more

we will lose around 10% with covid

Not sure how you came up with this number but what the hell.

Currently about 1% of the USA has been infected; 3,242,073 out of 328,200,000. Of that 3.2M about 135k have died; or about 4%. I'm not following other countries (except New Zeland simply because they haven't had a recorded covid-19 case in over a month).

In order for the USA to loose 10% that means 32.28 million people will need to die to this thing. Yea, I don't see that happening. Considering the world population is just shy of 8 billion does that mean you're really expecting 800,000,000 people to die to this thing?

Sorry, the sniff test doesn't agree with you.

Oh:
Idaho, US
Population: 1,787,000
Confirmed: 9,929 (0.55%)
Deaths: 101
Recovered: 3,066
Active: 6,762

Wyoming, US
Population: 578,759
Confirmed: 1,839 (0.3%)
Deaths: 21
Recovered: 1,361
Active: 457

Its all BS. Any old geezer about to die who tests positive for COVID19 is a COVID19 death. Nonsense. My mom died recently she had cancer heart problems and 3 or 4 other issues, they never could tell me what she died from. And I am expected to believe them now? Sure

You're preaching to the choir here. Between my dad, mom, step mom and mother-in-law there's over a dozen issues between them. If any of them contract covid-19 it'll do them in. I'm in the very early stages of a few health issues that will need to be managed for the rest of my life. If I catch this thing it'll kick me square in the nads.

What?

Florida has a 33% infection rate thats 1 in 3, and most people have not been tested

infection rate in major cities is 50%

Where are you getting these absurd numbers from? The global warming hucksters dipping into a new racket?

I can agree.

Thanos was right and should have been left to his work.

side note: a virus isn't a living organism, this is the reason they are so damn hard to treat
