Your broader point aside -- and even the claim is true -- I'm confused as to the value we're supposed to assign human life now. Over 600k people just died in the US of covid and no one batted an eye, so I'm slightly confused.

I'm not even trying to frame a broader argument. I'm genuinely confused. I thought people were especially concerned about human life in the US and apparently we're not. So why do people get outraged over lost life now?

human lives are nonfungible and deaths are extremely nonfungible

I mean, yeah, I get that: a single death is a tragedy and a million is a statistic. But the irrationality of it is maddening.
