Your fatality rate number is too low. Tens of millions of people would die a preventable death if we let it run its course, and many more would get disabilities from the disease. The economic cost would be tremendous.

- est31 6y agoThere are people who lost limbs because of clotting. Just imagine you wake up and don't have any legs any more. Like in a horror movie. Also, disability doesn't have to be permanent. Broke your leg and need a wheelchair? You're still disabled for the duration you need the wheelchair. ARDS recovery caused by COVID can take months.

You're still disabled for the duration you need the wheelchair. Why are you arguing semantics instead of writing something constructive? Yes, technically you are disabled if you have "a physical or mental condition that limits [your] movements, senses, or activities". That obviously happens to everyone who gets sick.
