I think he meant that your percentage is off. COVID by itself has a 1-2% mortality, not .1%, and has a rapid infection rate. The combined direct and indirect mortality is trending much higher, perhaps double.

That 1-2% number seems to be an extreme exaggeration, mostly peddled by the media. From research it seems to be at 0.66% or so.
That's without taking into account that less than half of the population will get infected.
And if you're concerned about short duration of immunity, we shouldn't drag that thing for a year, everyone should get sick faster.

0.66% if you're one case. More like 4% if there's more cases at the same time than your healthcare system can handle.

Pardon my sloppiness, it is .1% as I'm the one off by a decimal.
