I don’t love wading into the predictable aftermath of events like this, and I don’t think that one reader comment should be taken as the opinion of anyone other than that person. But this comment, which I read yesterday, has haunted me. I just can’t believe someone would think that “only 36,000” deaths per year is acceptable as a valid argument, especially when it would take, say, the UK over 260 years to reach that same amount.
