Completely agree. If population and population density affect the chance of a new virus introduction AND its spread, then look at this chart for proof of how much more common wide scale viruses will become.pic.twitter.com/agswA8njVD
.@DrMikeRyan with a sobering message: This pandemic has been severe, but it isn't necessarily the big one.
The virus is very transmissible, but the fatality ratio isn't especially high. Need to prepare for a worse foe.
Truth. But not what I wanted to hear at the end of 2020!!

Its not only the CFR but also the long term health consequences for those who go through it. Even though the chance is "low" to die from it I dont want a damaged lung, heart, brain nor kidneys....

Isn’t part of the issue the fact that SARS-CoV-2 is relatively benign in many people it infects, lulling people who have trouble thinking collectively into a false sense of security, tho? A deadlier disease would strike more fear into those who tend to think first of themselves.

Relatively low probability of a high-consequence event, with ‘high consequence’ being disability or death. That makes COVID a tough virus to manage, from a public health standpoint - and may set us up for worse outcomes when a higher morbidity bug comes along.
