Maybe, but just saw on the news that because of all the ignorant idiots not wearing masks and traveling this year we could have an estimated 500,000 dead by mid February.
The experts have said that only 1% will die from it. But America has 320million living here, 1% of that is 3 million. That still is a high risk, even for healthy young people.
The 1% estimate refers to the number of people who contract COVID, it’s not a percentage of the total population (people who don’t contract it have a 0% chance of dying from it).
