My uber driver told me a story of someone who had to have their legs amputated because of covid complications.

It was indeed sad, but it doesn't change the fact that you can still easily get it without a mask, and if you're going to be around people there's a greater than nothing chance you could get it. Like with any virus.

People like to use heartbreaking stories to argue for lockdowns and masks, but they ignore heartbreaking stories of people who commit suicide and the elderly who are based imprisoned for almost a year with little to know physical or in-person contact.

What your Uber driver may have failed to mention was the comorbidities present on that victim. Could they have had diabetes? Really is curious they lost their legs due to COVID - that's one I haven't heard of yet.

People die from disease. It's a fact of life. What is sad is that we seem to care more (via distruction of our livelihood and freedom) about 300k dying in the first year of a novel virus' presence than we do of the nearly 700k that die annually from heart disease.
