> at our current covid death rate, that 45K people happens about every 10 to 15 days. call it two weeks for simplicity's sake. Your math is wrong, 45 /1.5 = 30

> at our current covid death rate, that 45K people happens about every 10 to 15 days. call it two weeks for simplicity's sake. Your math is wrong, 45 /1.5 = 30 But so what? 8,000 people tragically die a day in the US under accepted normal conditions and we move on. > none of this has ANYTHING TO DO with the argument I made, which is that the grandparent's estimate of a worst-case scenario was just wildly inaccurate Realistically if you are young, healthy, and vaccinated that is the worst case scenario.
