People easily ignore death if it’s not directly connected to them.
Covid killed a lot but we also have many many times more people. The civil war directly effected a higher percent of the population in terms of death the. Covid did.
Covid was also hidden by modern medicine and society then the civil war was in many ways.
Covid to a lot of people just ment things closed sooner and they had to wear a mask. But society was already very insular and detached from the community around them. So it was only a progression of the norm. Unless you payed attention to the news or were in the healthcare industry. All the death was happening behind closed doors hidden away from society at large.
The civil war was best as I know far more impactful to the people because of the closet connection to their communities around them.
