The '1 in 500 deaths from covid19' number being quoted everywhere is nonsense.
If you were to add up every death caused by any illness over time, take the flu which has anywhere from 30-100,000 deaths recorded each year, you could easily make the same argument.
They imply that this number is worrisome, but the US population has grown significantly throughout the "Pandemic" and the total covid19 death rate remains around .002%, which is the same percent estimated in January of 2020 when the illness was first discovered.

If you are under the age of 50, you have, at most, a 0.0001233333% chance of dying of Covid19; which is astronomically low.
When you compare the actual CDC statistics. About 576,000 of the total deaths are people over the age of 65. Which represents 0.00192% rate of total population in the US, Which, as even the worst demographic, is STILL astronomically low.
The US population has actually increased dramatically since 2020, with an estimated 3.1 million births.
-
These kind of statistics should matter, because they are the difference between something to panic over; and a pretty benign disease that is being projected 24/7 into homes causing untold psychological damage to millions.
One more note.
$219 billion goes to treating heart disease in the US each year, and 655,000 Americans die every year from it (1 in 4); yet there is no outrage or panic over the fact that corporations like McDonalds are definitely killing more people than Covid ever will.
Reality check: your love of greasy meats and sugary drinks will kill you much faster than covid19.
