[QUOTE="donner, post: 3343104, member: 277"] Or, the 'it's not as bad' is also a measure of the effectiveness of countermeasures, such as social distancing. The world is taking extraordinary steps to counter this, so it's very difficult to separate the things (though we can still look to places that failed to react and see the problems they've had). And most all of the efforts to flatten the curve have been aimed as spreading out the load on the medial system to reduce deaths from secondary causes, IIRC, not from just from the virus itself. As a doctor friend of mine said early on, 100% of people may get it. 1% will die. It's steps we take now that determine what happens to the remaining 19%. It's never been strictly about the virus, but the problems the virus creates. [/QUOTE]
