Coronavirus spreads. But don't panic! (topical thread)

[abaris]

Survival rate of WWII was 95%.
x% tells you nothing at all about how much suffering and death is involved.

How much people will die if 10 people get infected, at a 99,7% survival rate?
How much people will die if 10 million people get infected, at a 99,7% survival rate

Is your risk evaluation the same in both cases? Would you make the same decision about actions to be taken (or not), in both cases?

There's also long Covid. Something that's not fully explored as of yet. People recovering from the actual disease but suffering long term ailments as a consequence.
