      I think you need to look up the definition of false equivalency, it is not an apple to orange kind of thing to say all viruses can kill. I'm not denying some kill more than others, but they all kill. If you can't understand this fact, I don't know what to tell you.

          You're stating that all viruses kill

          Yes, I am, and I'm pretty sure that's a fact.

          therefore all viruses are technically the same

          That's not what I'm saying at all, does saying all people die mean all people are the same? Does saying all murders kill mean they are all the same? No, there are obviously differences.

          which ignores the differences in damage they do to people.

          The fact I said isn't about differences in damage, facts don't have to say everything to be facts. My fact also isn't saying or implying that they do the same damage.

          If you had any actual point to make with your pedantic bullshit, I didn't see it. You're just textually masturbating as far as I can tell.

          Look at the context of who I was responding to. They were basically saying that if it kills we should wear a mask, I pointed out that All viruses kill and we don't wear masks because of those, so just the fact that it kills isn't enough.

              Again, I think you need to look up the definition of false equivalency, what I am saying isn't that.

              Define dangerous, because I wouldn't call current strains of covid dangerous. The hospitalized death rate isn't that far off the flu at this point. It used to be more deadly, but it's just not anymore.

              But hey, at least we can agree I'm technically correct.
