As previously mentioned, the more people that are actually infected, the less the fatality rate is.
God, you are triggering me. I remember like a month back I was arguing with my girlfriend about this. Her point was that COVID was a big deal because way more people were infected than we thought. I was making this point of, no the more people that got infected the better. It's amazing how this piece of information can somehow be used on both sides. Obviously we realize the actual answer but it seems like we are in the minority.
I think if you explain/show the math, it helps make sense of it vs "high cases = bad, death everywhere, etc." over-simplification from the media.
Yes, but the people I talk to end up going into "LALALALALLAALA I'm not listening" mode to the point of rage-blackout. It's like no matter how much evidence you present the other person will just do some mental gymnastic backflip to convince themselves that they live in the world that's compatible with their bubble. I find it extremely alarming, especially when we consider that this is exactly what the MSM counts on and profits from. They have this shit down to a science... the science of bad-science... it's incredible.
