Here’s your mistake. You think the 98.5% applies to you, no way. If you’re in a high risk group the death rate of those effected is between 15% to even 20%. So you hang on to that 98.5% which doesn’t even come near applying to you.

You get COVID-19 you have a 1 in 5 chance of dying if you are 65 and older and or have risk factors.

“You get COVID-19 you have a 1 in 5 chance of dying if you are 65 and older and or have risk factors.”

You’re right, of course. My mistake is my concern is for my kids and grandkids. And for them, I want a healthy country, one with liberty, and a functioning economy.

I don’t want to catch it. I will do what I can to mitigate exposure. However, I’d rather catch the darn thing, then watch my country collapse economically, and see wanna be dictators strip away our rights.

Yes, it’s easy to be bold behind a keyboard, but I’m being as honest as I can be. Just as honest as when I signed up for 4 years in the USN, when I didn’t have to go, and projecting 4 years of peacetime was unheard of.

Which is a major reason that you should want to have herd immunity extant in the community. When herd immunity has been achieved, the chances of you picking up the virus is substantially reduced.
