Even if so, do you feel like taking a 1% chance?

You know, many people reading this have a pre-existing condition, so even if this is a reasonable way to interpret the data, it's not much encouragement for them.

Also, just because 99% of deaths come from people with pre-existing conditions doesn't mean that someone with no conditions has a 1% chance of dying. That's just bad math.
