Wrong question IMO. Right question: how overwhelmed are medical services, such that someone who is infected *shouldn't have died* if the services were not overwhelmed. They are not overwhelmed. Now is the time to travel.

Disagree. For example one needs to consider serious long term adverse health consequences - these might not be that uncommon - and not just death. See e.g. herehttps://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/08/long-haulers-covid-19-recognition-support-groups-symptoms/615382/ …

Is that because you don't think they're likely?

No it’s because I think it’s ok to not be held responsible for second order effects in this case.

Almost by definition one would want to know of any seemingly significant risk (including uncertainty about potential actual level of risk) of becoming disabled - which it seems there is - if one wants to do a risk assessment.

Right, I assumed this thread was more about risk to others than self. But if one is trying to *never get* this virus then sure

I disagree, but I doubt talking about our disagreement here would be productive for us or helpful to

Yes I thought you might disagree and though I think it might be productive and we are getting somewhere, also happy to leave it here.
