80% of SYMPTOMATIC CASES are fine on their own, but the analysis is that well fewer than half of cases are symptomatic.

And mortality isn't at 2%. Not even close. It's 0.5-0.6% based on the most precise information we have. It's triple a bad flu season but it's not 2%. Not even remotely close.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
