Shorter Stuart: "Who cares if nearly 400,000 have died of #COVID19 when it's 'only' 0.1% of the population?"

Using Stuart's "logic," I suppose we should stop requiring seatbelts and airbags and stop trying to improve road and car design. After all, the death toll from automobile crashes is "only" around 38,000, which is "only" 0.012% of the population per year.

Regardless of the data massaging I'm getting really tired of the implication that mortality rate is the only metric that matters.

This logic perplexes me - I see it all the time Using the same method, the survival rate of car crashed in the UK is 99.997%. People who haven't been killed in car accidents haven't survived Has everyone who hasn't had malaria also somehow survived it ?

Ugh. May as well derive the percentage of driving fatalities from a population of non-drivers.

Ok, what do assess as the mortality rate nationally? Ballpark?

Doc? It’s a simple question. The bots are swarming on this, but I’m still curious if anyone has a straight answer on this simple question. I’m eager to learn.

When they simply say a metric and stop talking - as if saying a number constituted an argument - you sigh.
