Lets be clear, C-19 can infect everyone and if you get infected, you are sick
Even if you don’t have symptoms, even if you don’t believe it.
People seem to be having a really hard time understanding what a virgin field disease outbreak means.
I was watching them interview people in AZ going to Trump’s rally and they have this perception that “if you are young and healthy you don’t get the virus”. That only the “old and sick” catch it.
Trump voters seem to have no understanding that everyone can get infected.
That even if they don’t have overt symptoms, everyone who gets infected is still sick.
That the unlucky 20% who get “seriously sick” are just the ones who get a lot sicker than the rest of the population.
Although it’s horrible to say it, C-19 just isn’t deadly enough to convince the doubters that it’s real.
Roughly 80% of C-19 infections are going to be asymptomatic or very mild.
