Who said otherwise?

longhorn, what I'm afraid of is that you're not taking into consideration that even an equal number of deaths now compared to last year is worse. Why? Some radical lefty narrative? No, sorry. Because of a plain, logical context: all the people who died last year are gone. All of the old people, fat people, etc.
So those aren't the ones dying now, but there's as many or more dying now.......that's worse. See?
