An average western man, especially anglo saxon, is addicted to assigning a number to everything. Even to the feeling. "How do you feel on a scale from 0 to 10?".
From what I've been observing, the covid deaths/infections/hospital admission *numbers* have been used to justify any restriction put in place. Because numbers is science, right?
And a hedonistic mind trusts science without a doubt. I've seen how most of my co-workers parrot various covid-related numbers from the media and thus go with the programming because "thats how we bring the NUMBERS down".
