Not really. Anti-vaxers do it by choice. The state controls quarantine. That’s like saying people with aids should have been quarantined a few decades ago. We have ZERO idea what this new virus looks like yet, could it be a pandemic - yes, but the mass hysteria you’re projecting?

What is the survival rate vs infection? The current death rate is 2-3%, whereas SARS was 10%. With a functioning immune system and access to healthcare 98% of people survive. You’re blowing this WAY out of proportion.https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00236-9 …

From what I can see on google scholar, you worked in microfluidics - not anything related to physiology. As a former scientist, you should realize that 2-3% is not even significant enough for a p value of < 0.05 based on the std deviation of the sample rn. STOP disinforming pls.

don’t forget your tail risk: pandemic spred leads to mutation leads to more deadly strains, no current immunity. prominent scenario here wheree it’s kind of like china holding bck the tide while the world races to scale a vaccine to global deployment. what do you think is prob?

There’s tail risk for any infectious disease, including influenza- which impacts WAY more people annually than corona virus. Your point is well taken, but the data we have available suggests it’s not as big of a deal as some are making it. You’re suggesting a what if scenario.

Actually suggest you run a sim on this and link it. You may be surprised; I was. Also check event 201; R0 actually less than this disease, uncontrollable pandemic. Only thing was marginally higher death count. Deaths systemically under reported in Wuhan. Ppl dying at home ...
