What a senseless analogy. Odds are you’ll be in 3 or 4 car crashes in your life despite the tens of thousands of times you’re in a car. Of those crashes the odds are 1 in 100 it will be fatal. Plus car crashes aren’t contagious. And yet billons are spent to make cars safer.
If your odds of getting in a plane crash were the same as dying of Covid, the airfare industry would be bankrupt in a year.
If you’re going to argue at least be intellectually honest.

Give me the cliffs. What is he alleging? Either a) a massive international conspiracy to fraudulently lie about true cause of death or b) a massive international embarrassment as we find out medical professionals the world over never actually knew how to accurately assess cause of death.
So which is it?It's hard to win an argument with a smart person. It's damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person. - Bill Murray

You know, if "cross immunity" was really significant against COVID, pediatricians should never get it. They spend half their day looking down the throats of snotty coughing virus factories. We used to call their patients "vectors". Heck, daycare and nursery school workers should also be fairly immune, and so should most elementary school teachers. The reality is, statistics on the virus show it's highly transmissible and we don't have significant pre-existing immunity.
I don't agree with a many of the steps that are being taken to try and reduce transmission, but given how stupidly a lot of people acted over the past several months, all of this was predictable.
On the plus side, the odds are good we'll have some limited vaccine availability by the second quarter of 2021.
Iceman, I'm still checking the daily mortality every few days to see which of us was right. Sadly, it's looking like it may be you.

Well he did say a natural immunity I think would be in only 40% of the people, I'd have to watch it again. Based on what he said I agree that this virus is no where near as lethal as has been hyped and the way the go about figuring out who actually has it is flawed and is doing nothing but increasing panic and fear.

And when covid deaths hit 400k sometime in January, the death rate will be 1 in 6,500. No one would fly if 1 in every 6,500 airplanes crashed or you had a fatal car wreck every 6,500 car rides you took.
And yet BILIONS are spent to eek out even small improvements in the safety of these modes of transportation.
