                                                                Viral Numbers

COVID-19 INFECTION SURVIVAL RATES (per CDC)

Ages 0-19:    99.997%

Ages 20-49:  99.98%

Ages 50-69:  99.5%

Ages 70+:     94.6%

Seasonal Flu Infection Survival Rate (for population as a whole): 99.90%

So, what is happening?  We seem to be responding out of proportion to the Viral threat. Why is that? Certainly, caution, especially among the more vulnerable, is reasonable. And certainly, people should be cautious around the more vulnerable. But should industries be shut down? Lives ruined? Families disrupted? Commerce stopped? And even traditional and constitutionally independent cultures are allowing tremendous power centralization without discussion.

It seems as if the culture says "yes" to all these questions. The real question is "Why?"
