- dgfitz 5y agoSo ~0.004% then. Are you suggesting that is statistically significant?
- fendy3002 5y agoI'll get downvoted, but people keep forgetting that covid spread is exponential, not linear.
- dgfitz 5y agoOk, 0.008% if you want. Sure feels like an argument for argument sake. I can find a list of odds of things that will hurt/kill a 20-something where the percentage is greater than 0.008 if you'd like.
