My mistake, I didn't realize you were referring to Omicron specifically (which makes sense). Even so, that is much better than I thought. Thanks for providing the link.

I forget the source but survey's suggest the average american thinks if they catch covid they have like a 10% chance of dying. This is in some cases 1000x wrong. People are badly, badly mis-informed on how survivable covid is.

If people knew the actual statistics around covid severity, I don't think we'd be doing any of this at all.
