The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I wouldn't call it offensive. It's factual. It is insensitive. It's not thinking of those that died and their families.

I would consider it offensive to belittle the murder of children/adults just because diseases kill more people. That's such a smooth brain take, and is honestly something I'd expect to come out of a Republican politician.
