The numbers show that this is <1% fatal and probably <0.1% but all it takes is one story of some 30 year old dying on the news and everybody loses their minds.
Granted, I was very scared myself before we had numbers, but I don’t know how many people are willing to actually take a look at them now that this has become sort of political. It’s like how a school shooting will get a lot of coverage, but nobody talks about how way more people are shooting themselves in the head. Emotions over facts.
