And my point was that the number of potential deaths are significantly reduced by laws and social norms put in place to contain it. (mostly hand washing)

There are obviously a lot of "other" types of Hep and different spreading vectors.

But, then have you ever tried a metaphor and found it was not a perfect fit, but sort of demonstrated the point?

My point was social norms (masks, distancing, hand washing) will reduce the spread of COVID, and vaccinations will reduce the deaths from COVID.

OMG---now we agree on something else! This is getting frightening
