Golfer,
WTF did you get those numbers from? 2% die? LOL! 10% debilitating side effects?
During the Delta wave, the ratio of COVID deaths to confirmed infections was about 2%.

That ratio is going down because of Omicron, but we still have over a thousand Americans dying every day because the number of infections spiked up recently.

As for the 10% figure, that's kind of an educated guess based on articles like this one:

Almost 25% of COVID-19 Patients Develop Long-Term Symptoms | Time

It doesn't matter what facts I post, though. You will categorically reject anything that doesn't confirm what you want to believe.
