The effects of slightly more COVID deaths would have been way less visible in people's lives than the effects of long-term lockdowns turned out to be, and scared people could have just stayed home; work from home could have continued for email people without lockdowns.
They could have just ended the lockdowns after two weeks like they said they would. Or after doctors declared COVID was less dangerous than racism. Or after the vaccines became available. Instead they waited til May 2023, and by that point maskies had become subculture; I still see maskies every day. I tried going to fucking speed dating last year, and they handed out masks and required proof of vaccination.
In the mirror universe, is there a subculture of people in perpetual mourning for those who died from COVID? They'd be indistinguishable from goths.

The other problem is that the Trump administration by trying to take control of the narrative and slandering the victims before their bodies were cold effectively endorsed the killings.
I'll admit, that got under my skin more than anything else. It took the typical trump lying from tiresome bullshitting buffoonery to, well, hackneyed villainy.

I agree; gold's value is societally determined. In cases of societal collapse, your gold will just be taken off your corpse by a spike-covered guy driving a car that's also covered in spikes.
Someone buying physical gold should really be buying bullets, vitamins, and canned protein.

Is right now (after a historic crash) a good time to buy in on silver and gold? The underlying logic still seems sound (needed for electronics, inflation/weakening USD, increased international drama)

I found there to be an annoying number of unasked questions and unargued arguments. Given that the hivemind can't even pick fruit (never mind that the tree WANTS you to eat the apples and crap out the seeds, this still counts as harm), the virus winds up being a pesticide that kills off an entire species, but also causes the target to tidy up after itself while it dies off.
It was billed as "Inclusive" speed dating. They had other events that were "queer-only," and I think I saw one that was explicitly masks-mandatory. One event was called "baby queer speed friending." There's really no particular reason that queerness has any connection to being a maskie, but of course the two are highly correlated.
It's apparently normal enough that I was the only person at the event to roll their eyes and make a snarky comment about it. I only went because it was the most local and least scammy-looking speed dating org in the area. In one night I had three conversations that went hobbies->books->fantasy->"JKR is such a disgusting bigot."
