I don’t think there’s going to be a mindset change in the population. The absolute worst estimates are between 0.5 and 1 percent of the population dying.

There are news reports right now on HN on how the real death rate on countries that are not falsifying reports might be up to 4 times the assumed rate.

The hypothesis is supported by the increase in total deaths compared with the baseline, and after subtracting deaths linked to covid19.

This being true, we might be looking into 2 to 4% of the population.

1% of the world's population is almost 800m people. That's >10x the death-toll of WW2 (which took 6 years to achieve).
