well, honey, if you want to find a lower number by increasing the pool, go ahead. We can play those number games all day - population of the world, population of the US versus Europe, population of humans versus bats, population versus number of stars on Dec 21. Silly games.

But we deal with facts. Ease of transference, Number of infected, ineffectiveness of medical interventions, ineffectiveness of antivirals, number of those dead because their lung aveoli have been fried and are unable to transfer oxygen to the blood, the number of kidneys fried and the number of hearts and lungs permanently damaged. In your granny. Or your pregnant wife. Or your prodigy son.

All because you know it all and you didn't practice social distancing or take a viral novel disease seriously enough to flatten the curve.

Have a nice day. And please stay away from people because we don't need mildly or moderately ill such as you think yourself will be, taking hospital resources from those in critical condition, like your neighbor or pastor or school crossing guard.

It wasn’t me.

It was this guy, Philip Alcabes:

“Alcabes graduated from Union College and holds masters degrees in biochemistry (U. of California, Berkeley) and public health (Columbia University). He earned a Ph.D. in infectious-disease epidemiology in 1993 from the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health.”
