Under 0.35% which is several times greater than the next comparable (the flu), and greater for more than 30% of the population due to age and pre-existing condition. Very few people dont have a personal stake in keeping the people they love alive (parents, spouses, children, siblings, friends, lovers, etc.)
The panic makes more sense if you consider the overwhelming majority of people are looking not just at their own age and pre existing condition but also realizing the people who enrich their lives are also at risk.
- watwut 6y agoThe "panic" framing is manipulative itself. It is an attempt to stigmatize people who consider the disease to be serious issue as emotional and scared as opposed to arguing with them.
