In a perfect world where everyone reacts rationally sure. However, the actual reaction to this information is that individuals deem themselves not a risk and go about their daily lives. Unfortunately they are endangering everyone who is at risk in the process.
- ardy42 7y agoYeah, there's so much complexity here that a simple number could lead someone to miss. So, 99% of those who died had another illness. Almost everyone has illnesses, so what kinds are we talking about? A patient surviving doesn't mean the patient didn't need intensive medical care. So you survived, are there any long-term symptoms you'll have to learn to live with? I've also heard that (at least in some contexts) a "mild" case of COVID-19 is defined as one that didn't need breathing assistance. That's not the colloquial definition of "mild."
