Yeah it’s just you and me. You are more afraid of bleeding out through your eyes and various orifices than slowly suffocating. It’s a matter of personal preference, and I agree with you.

Uh, have you actually watched someone with a good heart slowly nearly dying of pneumonia / ARDS? Gasping desperately for breath (even tho’ ventilated) for hours. Heart rate 160+ & BP through the roof, again for hours — and that’s after the meds to try to bring ‘em down. (Dr’s had maxed out dosage they said, were afraid more would do the job for the pneumonia.) Ghastly black crud being coughed up. Between that and Ebola, if I’m gonna go, it’d pretty much be flip a coin, for me. If I had the choice, I’d rather be fried by ISIS.

ISIS is deadly but relatively easy to find and destroy. Ebola is deadly but relatively easy to contain. COVID-19 is much less likely to be fatal if contacted, but much much more likely to contacted and infected.

Can we slow COVID-19 enough to not run out of hospital beds and ventilators, which then affects anyone needing hospitalization? That is the million, uh, trillion dollar question.
