Yes, I agree. But I’m looking at the number of hospitalizations and especially the number of deaths. Yes, I know there is considerable doubt over those figures, and probably many of those hospitalizations and deaths were due to the comorbidities. But unless and until we can be sure that Covid-19 played only a small role in the severity of those cases, we need to be very concerned. And no, I’m not advocating a strict lockdown, but we do need to take precautions, more precautions than for the seasonal flu, and far more than for the common cold.
I'm sorry if my initial reply to you appeared glib or uncaring.
If you wish to believe that you yourself (or a close family member) are in grave danger because of Covid-19, then you are by all means free to act accordingly (e.g., get inoculated).
For persons in high-risk groups, the benefits of inoculation probably outweigh the risks.
