    It’s killed tens of millions. And it has disabled tens of millions more. It is absolutely wild how unseriously the right takes it. Horrendous.

      Wait until global warming comes for us for real

      Tens of millions? Those are rookie numbers. And it happened for exactly the same reasons, and the fuckers KNEW what they were doing. They just wanted to get rich, and didn’t care if it literally destroyed the world. And now the piper’s coming.

        Global warming will be fucked.

        But COVID infections still disable around 2% of people who contract it for life. Now let covid keep on running around for a couple decades and a very large chunk of the population is going to have major issues.

        I’m bedridden since 4 years with a lifelong disease caused by a covid infection. And I only see our numbers growing. 2% per infection is the most conservative estimate. The NIH says 5%

          Oh I am not saying you are wrong. I still have some minor but significant effects from having had Covid a couple of years ago. I’m saying that global warming once it starts fucking up the food supply will kill on a scale that’s unimaginable to people who currently live in largely safe orderly war/famine free type countries.
