Yes, how religious types completely overlook the contradiction is beyond me
-
If it’s good for me, God directly did it

If it’s bad, it’s my/our fault somehow

Shouldn’t they be thanking god because they’re in heaven and we should be cursing him for not taking us?
Personally, heaven sounds awful.
See you guys in hell ;)
I mean, seriously. Think about the music they’ll have in heaven.
It’s all going to be the same shit with the same 3 chords for eternity. It’d be like listening to the same 5 elevator songs for all of eternity.
This must be old, we were almost at 1.6m deaths by the end of 2020. Over 5 million by the end of 2021. Thanks God.
To be fair, most of them were Republicans. God works in mysterious ways.
Well, by the end of 2021 there were a little under 800k deaths (edit: in the US), so the vast majority were not from the US, let alone Republican.
1.6M by the end of 2020, but also 800k by the end of 2021.
Maybe God did some work after all?
Sorry I didn’t make it clear. 800k is US only, other figures (including OP) are worldwide.
2020 was still very much in the projection stage, the numbers got adjusted constantly until a good representation was agreed upon.
For example, one of the first “Covid-deaths” in my area was an 87 year-old man on palliative care for stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He died, they ran a post-mortem covid test on him, it came back positive. Later on, he got removed from covid death statistics as it was probably not covid that killed him.
The Economist (2022):The pandemic’s true death toll is between 19.2 and 36.3 million “With 95% confidence interval.”
