COVID-19 has now killed 0.00008% of the world’s population. If we aren’t careful that number might rise to 0.00015%. Essentially, you have a 1 in a million chance of dying from the COVID-19. Probably 1 on 10 million if you’re healthy. Fact: 1 in 22 million is about the risk of dying in a commercial plane crash in the US every time one flies.

Your numbers are way off if you are in a collapsed health system. You did not read the article.

COVID-19 isn't through killing by a long shot. Besides, even if you don't die, I don't like the idea of being sicker than a dog for two to three weeks. Since you're such a brave soul, why don't you sign up to be first in line for the vaccine trials? I hear they are paying good money.

This is why a lock down will not work. You have to many people who do not recognized the danger of COVID-19. They are convince the virus is vast left wing conspiracy to destroy President Trump. They need to go back and listen to President Trumps declaration of National Emergency.

Then you have the other groups I am young it will not effect me. They are on spring break and do not care. That group will be going home soon because the colleges are close to spread the virus in their home towns.

Then you have the Just A flu bro crowd, who misinterpret data (just like the global warming crowd) to back their belief that this a nothing.
