      186.7K a year is below unintentional accidents. Slipping on a wet floor is considered a higher risk of death than covid in 2023. That is why people are no longer focused on it and have moved on.

        The bulk of “unintentional accidents” are motor vehicle fatalities, which are actually extremely significant in America. Though I don’t really want to get into whether or not the blood price of not giving a shit about the ongoing pandemic is a bargain, because that seems to be morally reprehensible in any event.

            First you post:

            186.7K a year is below unintentional accidents. Slipping on a wet floor is considered a higher risk of death than covid in 2023

            Then you post:

            Unintentional Fall deaths: 44,686

            Which most certainly includes “Slipping on a wet floor” but is like one quarter the number of COVID deaths you yourself just posted!

            You’re obviously upset about COVID and whatever impact it had on your life but posting bullshit just makes you look like an idiot. At least read the things you post, and maybe also try not to completely contradict yourself sentence to sentence.

              Showing what unintentional means, falls are a large part of it. Cherry-pick all you like, it doesn’t change the subject.

                Bruh you’re the one who cherry-picked “falls” and represented it as more common than COVID. 💀
