It is not statistically almost zero. More like 1% chance, which is quite high if you think about it. If you knew that you had a 1 in 100 chance of dying from a fatal disease if you contracted it, wouldn’t you avoid catching it? To put it in perspective, the chance of dying from skydiving is commonly estimated at 1 in 1000 per jump.

More worrisome is the potential long-term effects. In Israel, doctors are estimating as many as 30% of “recovered” COVID-19 have suffered cognitive decline. Here’s an article on the topic:

You are exaggerating by over a factor of 500%.

Do you lie as a way of life?

I think you have cognitive decline without the covid.

Living in fear is not living at all. When covid disappears, they will introduce a new virus.

Fear is powerful. Living in fear all the time is not really living.
