Right. So what we should have done before destroying our economy is think a little hard. What is the infection rate? If the infection rate is low, then that means the vast majority of people would never even get the virus. Among those who get infected, what is the rate of people who experience severe symptoms. I've read it's something like 20%, meaning 80% have no symptoms or mild symptoms...basically a non-event. Of those who get infected, what is the percent who die? What's the percent who die out of the entire population? What profile did the people who die have? We know they are elderly or they have lung or heart disease or some other underlying condition that makes them immunocompromised. So if you are not elderly and have lung or heart disease and no immunodeficiencies, then why must the government ruin your life and livelihood? Right now, we don't have enough information to compare COVID to other flus or past pandemics. But as the testing gets more extensive and we have more and more country studies to review, we're finding the mortality rate is getting lower and lower. This is no accident. It's what happens when we start to move away from selection biased results to testing across a broader array of the population.
