Well, did you also mean 'only' along with your 'regrettably?'

It too bad only 4 million people world wide died from COVID. If there were more maybe people might give a damn how it all happened and actually hold people responsible.

Quote:
"Regrettably only around 490 children under the age of seventeen have died from COVID." might have been a Freudian slip. Or it might have just been poorly written. But neither was my fault, Def. Everyone is capable of slip-ups. Some seem incapable of admitting it, though.

Some are also apparently incapable of recognizing sarcasm. Even when it has been pointed out to them.

"Regrettably, there were only (x number) of survivors of the sinking." "Regrettably, only (x number) of people were rescued and released from _____ concentration camp." It should never be used to regret that numbers of loss or suffering were too low: "Regrettably, only (x number) of lives were lost this year on the highway due to automobile occupants not wearing seatbelts." "Regrettably only around 490 children under the age of seventeen have died from COVID." Even slight word variation which conveys the same meaning should be avoided.: "It too bad only 4 million people world wide died from COVID." It's just bad form, even if people try to use the sarcasm excuse (for themselves or others) after the matter (like some seem prone to, more and more today, rather than admit a mistake because such admissions are fatal (sarcasm).

The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. - same

Except it's not 1%. It's not even 1/10th of 1 percent.

Then i propose the US should have done just nothing for four more weeks to reach this one percent.
