“we must establish a second line of defense against the transmission of this deadly disease.”
Since when did a virus with a .5% fatality rate become a “deadly disease”.
With respect, not.5% fatality rate.
The almost three-year mortality rate for the "severe" and "deadly" virus is 0.0836 percent, making the survival rate for the entire population over the same period to be 99.92 percent.
Best regards.
