      Bear in mind those are death counts. The variants have become less deadly but that doesn’t mean they’re harmless

        I mean, no disease will never not be lethal, but that is considerable better than it was.

          Depends on what you consider better. I’d rather be dead than permanently disabled from long covid.

              I don’t think it’s unreasonable to not want to be alive if you have no quality of life.

                Long covid doesn’t usually make you a vegetable or something. So it sounded quite extreme

                  Being a vegetable isn’t the only negative QoL out there. If I have to take several breaks just walking to the mailbox, that doesn’t sound like any sort of quality of life to me.

                    If you are out of shape you’d rather die than carry on living? Quite drastic if you ask me.

                    But what’s the likelihood of getting long covid and/or otherwise getting such a debilitating condition that you’d rather die? Can’t be too common
