I don’t quite follow the logic, it is as if some doctors riding skittle-shedding unicorns are somehow swoop down and save the day. They don’t get that while our healthcare is one of the best in the world, our health agencies aren’t necessarily the best. I believe the bureaucrats and the policy tie the hands of the healthcare professionals too much. Anyway, I keep telling everyone, our healthcare is only good if there is a bed for you. And this flu could have have 66 people vying for one ICU bed.
Yeah that’s what I tried to tell this person. 2% means nothing. It’s about how YOUR body would respond to the nastiness that is this virus, which has killed plenty of healthy folks in their 30s. Nobody should think “it won’t be a big deal even if I get it”. There’s been supposedly no cases of kids dying in China from this - but that does not mean it can’t kill children - we just don’t know. We must try and protect everybody from this, young and old alike.
It’s normalcy bias.
Let’s hope normalcy bias wins the day this go around.
I have better things to do this summer than pandemic.
