Pkrbkr,
I hope you aren't a party to the group believing the mortality rate = deaths/positive tests as the wackos here believe.
Based on the available data, I do believe it. Once I see multiple studies proving that the actual infection rates were far higher than we knew, then I'll believe that the actual death rates are lower.

But even then, the absolute number of deaths, along with the surge in demand for ICUs and ventilators, already prove to me that COVID-19 is not "just like seasonal flu."

That, plus the doctors who know the difference between what COVID-19 does vs. what the flu does, is enough for me to take this seriously.
