The chances of us dying from the corona virus is slim, but the chances of us dying from isolation and economic down turn is much higher. |
Even if it slim it translates to millions of death's. Without social distancing hundreds of millions will the the virus. 2-3% will die from the virus alone and 10% will ve hospitalized but our hospitals dont have the capacity to hold tens of millions of people at once and so some people will die from not getting treated. Also other non coronavirus patients that need to be hospitalized wont be able to get their procedures and could die from that.
Yeah the risk is low at 2-3% but even with that other factors will make the death toll much higher.
