Making light of it?
It's just become pretty definitive that unless you've got some sort of preexisting issue, it's not really a problem. Got nothing to do with downplaying it. People with health issues or that are constantly around people with health issues should be going out of their way to protect themselves.
Everyone else... It's just not a real threat.
Except of course for that population of people with no “underlying issues” and still die.
And if “not really a problem,” means they survive it doesn’t take into account the people with the associated symptoms or after effects they’ll suffer for who knows how long going forward: loss of senses, early onset dementia symptoms, heart ailments, lung issues to name some
Edit: I’m not trying to pile on, I’m just saying I imagine the fact that **** isn’t just all good for a lot of people, especially those without excellent access to healthcare, is what causes this strong reaction whenever someone is dismissive of the disease in this thread or in general.
