Its actually a 99.97% survival rate for those under 50
The survival rate is high, and that’s good. Problem is it’s highly contagious and is infecting millions, with no signs of slowing. A small percentage of an astronomical number is still a large number. In the end, I don’t think there was anything we could realistically have done to stop it, but the constant downplaying of this tragedy really bothers me. Can we not grieve and empathize? Have we lost that ability? Is everything politics now? Are there really this many a-holes in the world?

You serious Clark? You think this is being downplayed? I agree with you that it is serious, but the problem has been the total lack of context and perspective in the story and reporting around this. The media and many others are treating this like it is smallpox burning through the population. In fact, it is a respiratory virus with a 99.7% survival rate. Most of the people who are dying were about to die of something else anyway. I realize there are exceptions.
