    I wrote for the Guardian about COVID-19, and why it makes no sense to say that the death rate is 1% so 99% of people will be 'fine' Death isn't the only worry ping @nataliexdean @BillHanage @MackayIMhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/commentisfree/2020/jul/13/as-covid-19-persists-around-the-world-death-is-not-the-only-outcome-to-fear …

        1) How many people have been reinfected? Studies? 2) How many people don't seem to get Covid-19 i.e. Diamond Princess? Has anybody followed up on those people?

        And, with the pandemic still ongoing, poor levels of testing, and some states having fudged their numbers ... a 1% mortality rate may well be on the conservative side. We simply won't know until this thing runs its course. However long that takes.

        Did it well, young fella. Clear, said what was important, and it’s short. It’s a fascinating experience, pandemic life.

        And I’m sure you referred to high quality studies that prove the concerns about long-term morbidity before making unsubstantiated claims.All manner of diseases have disabling complications.Funny enough we just TREAT those without whining about them..

        Highlighting possible longterm health complications is not whining about them, it’s just calling out possible long term health complications so people are aware and hopefully act more responsibly as a result.
