1% and 30% means very little when the hospitals are overwhelmed and bodies piling up.
I find it interesting to see how statistics can be used to bolster the impression that it ain't as bad as it seems when the only stats, imo, that mean anything is the number of people adversely effected. As Yak points out, it doesn't matter if our healthcare system is overwhelmed and people are dying. Who really cares if grandpa was one out of a thousand or one out of ten? If he's dead he's dead.
