I'm wondering about the plane crash in China. “This nosedive was simply unprecedented, especially from cruising altitude. We’re talking about the safest phase of the flight.” https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/22/-china-plane-crash-unprecedented-given-good-safety-record-analyst.html

Let’s call it what it is. Genocide

Those responsible including the shot givers must be charged.

At this point, zero excuse for not knowing, and just doing my job, did not include killing people.

Sickening.

It would be more convincing to those with their heads in the sand if a comparison count could made of similar reports over a period of the same length two years ago (and three, four, five, ... years ago—and even one year ago for that matter).

The scariest thing for me is that for every one of these sudden deaths there probably about five people who are either totally disabled or going to be in serious and intractable pain for the rest of their lives, or both. If it was me, I'd rather "die suddenly".

I wish there was a pre-Covid “baseline” for the number of sudden death stories, as my friends will just say there are always sudden deaths.

The story about the couple- he died of a heart attack and she has sudden cancer- was especially tragic.
