OT: Do you guys really consider this a "pandemic"?

Posted by sans on 2021-February-04 20:22:04 EST, Thursday

0.03% of the world pop dead, and that's after > 1 year and multiple vaccines already approved and being administered.

Compare that to the Spanish flu during WWI when 3-5% of the world pop died. How can you compare? Calling this a pandemic is like calling 911 and saying you're experiencing severe bleeding over a papercut.
