Death is but one outcome. It's like saying we shouldn't pay attention to it because all that happens is your legs get amputated. You live, but shit still happens.
so you agree it's a 99.8% survival rate, and death isn't the concern, but instead long-term breathing problems for a subset of folks that has no numbers behind it?
Great! Let's shut down a the whole country because there's a chance people will have breathing problems. We don't know what that chance is, but let's just blindly assume all 99.8% survivors get it.
