First, I am sorry to hear you were exposed, but am glad to hear that you are vaccinated, wear a mask, and don't feel you are at risk.
Wow-doing what is right for civilization and humanity! You would think that Covid was as deadly as a hemorrhagic fever such as Ebola or Marburg. So let's go to the data and take a look, perhaps I wasn't aware of how deadly Covid is.....
First, let's look at the
current population clock to see about how many people live on this planet, and we will see at the time of my writing this post: 7, 795,546,137 (and climbing)
Let's now look at the
world wide number of coronavirus cases, deaths, and recoveries and we see:
Total cases: 239,303,783
Total deaths: 4,877,149
Total recoveries: 216,566,048
So for the worldwide population, it looks like 3% of the population experienced a case of Covid,
0.063% of the worldwide population
has died from Covid, and
90.5% of the worldwide population
(10/13 correction: should indicate “of the total cases”, not “of the worldwide population”) has RECOVERED from Covid.
Thank you for proving my earlier point, to wit:
