Argh....decimal error...need coffee...thank you, guilty as charged.

The CDC modeled the end-game CFR to be around 0.4%, which likely takes your points into effect (i.e. 94% of fatalities with COVID19 on the death certificate also have at least one other comorbidity).

My point, made inartfully, is that this is a virus that can be very bad for a specific subsegment of the population. For most of us, it's a highly contagious yet non-lethal problem....it isn't the flu, but it's not pneumonia. Getting the vaccine should be an otion, not a mandate.

Shall we destroy the economy and our way of life over this, or learn to live with it like the flu, drunk drivers, meth heads, halitosis and of course Springsteen?

Re: "this is a virus that can be very bad for a specific sub-segment of the population."

We agree.

In fact, I rank COVID-19 with the very worst USA flu outbreaks we had in 1968 and 1957.

But destroy the economy and make everyone wear a mask to stop it?

Total insanity.
