Exactly. We were lucky that COVID wasn't more deadly than it was. I mean, 200k deaths and people still complain about wearing a little piece of cloth over their face. What happens when the hypothetical next "COVID-21" comes that's 20X deadlier? Do we all just suck it up and die, because we won't temporarily give up the freedom of eating at Olive Garden? Sorry, but I'm not willing to risk a double digit percentage chance of getting sick and possibly dying, just to retain the convenience of indoor shopping and getting my hair cut.

You have a 100% chance of dying.
