Believe the mass graves and filled ERs.

I didn't actually see mass graves or filled ERs.

I guess you can’t see if your eyes are closed.

You’re not alone. I also didn’t see either of those things, or know anyone that died from it.

I’m also not denying those things exist, I’m simply affirming your reality.

Hrm, the full ERs were easy to find though, news were coming up multiple times a day which hospital is rejecting patients and of doctors and nurses collapsing from 40-80 hours continuous work.

Mass graves... trickier. We tend to not want to be faced with mass deaths in general, which is why we tend to not glorify this as much as we do personal death. They were in the news though, and of course travel to any poorer country and they were/are easy to find.
