The problem is we can only push mortality_rate so much with new medicine and hospital bets, missing days at work are other externalities. Vaccinations move from the population in to the vaccinated bucket which has preferable externality rates and if enough people are vaccinated we might be able to even push 0.9ish fudge factor lower.
