The CDC currently states that the current Infection Mortality rate for USA is 0.65% and that is estimating asymptomatics as only 40% which many scientists think is low.

Scroll down to Table 1. This is what our top epidemiologists say. Don't be a science denialist. |
Let's try the KISS principle. And talk about motivation, the WHY? I understand WHY I am concerned about the risks of CV. I don't understand the WHY behind downplaying those same risks? If I am correct, I have a good chance of saving my life and others by "modeling" mask wearing. If I am wrong, no big deal. The opposite choice is a big deal - many die and are tortured as they die and later in life. To me, that is a big risk and a bad risk calculation. So, I MUST ask WHY downplay??????
