We should also consider that various people are affected in different ways. Some die, some recover but will have damaged organs for the rest of their lives, some recover being weak for sometime, some may recover fully with no long term side effects ( that we may know of right now?).

We need to stop thinking of death as the only statistic.

Edit: Statistics are for policies. Our individual lives and the lives of those around us are our responsibility (e.g. don't impact others' lives due to our own recklessness and unwillingness to listen to reason).

Further, this repeated refusal of Americans of not listening to lessons learned from around the world (e.g. from those of us in South East Asia) will only count against American in the longer term.
