COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

In overall raw (not contextual) numbers, sure that's the case... I'm not talking about raw numbers.... I am taking into account age and health history... and when you do that... it's more like "99% just fine and 1% dead" when it comes to that specific demo graphical group that will face this choice... they have the most to lose.... they will be faced with that choice... that was what I was getting at.

I agree that context is important, which is what I was also getting at. Even for young, healthy people, it's not 99/1. We need accurate (as accurate as possible, considering "long term" with C19 is two months) injury stats as well as a push to remind people they aren't as "healthy" as they think, for the most part.

The most dangerous jobs in America have between a .1 and a .05 percent fatality rate. Would people be so eager to return to work if they knew they're facing a risk ten times greater (at least) than the most dangerous occupation in the land?
I'm all about freedom of choice, but it has to be an informed choice.
