Of course, in fact that I'm doing right now, i try to lived my normal life as much as i still possibly can.
>The breakeven point is different for different people, but I think even 0.1% chance of death is too high for most.
There are always some chance of death everyday regardless of covid.
Do you think lockdown doesn't case long term damage ? The lockdown and the fear mongering cause more damage than the covid itself.
>That's more people than we lost in World War II
Sure but we have more people now compare to before.
If I told you that every day you lived your normal life, you had a 1 in 100 chance of dying, would you take it?
How about a 1 in 1,000 chance? That's an expected payoff of about three years before you die, Worth it?
The breakeven point is different for different people, but I think even 0.1% chance of death is too high for most.
Or flipping the numbers: if 100% of Americans become infected, a disease with a 0.1% fatality rate is about 350,000. That's more people than we lost in World War II.
