For my own self, I'm less concerned about mortality and a lot more concerned about lung and brain damage.
For society, I'm concerned about being able to get back to life without becoming an asymptomatic spreader.
This idea that only the deaths matter is mind boggling.
- rocqua 6y agoBeyond the damage the virus does without killing, there is also a massive pressure on health care. Keeping someone with a severe case of Corona (I think 5% of cases are this?) from dying requires a lot of care. I know that in my country (the Netherlands) this has caused significant delays to other forms of care. Hence, even if people who get Corona get out without any long-term damage, their en-masse admission to hospitals still has long-term health effects. Just not on them, but on others that were denied care.
