re: If you die from a 99.9% survival virus

Death isn't the main issue, it's the organ damage that is. Many infected Americans who survive this virus will have lasting, serious organ damage - kidneys, lungs, heart, brain, etc. that could affect them for the rest of their lives. That will in turn then pose a burden on healthcare (and all sorts of other burdens to the nation) for decades to come.

People keep talking death % as if it's the only factor at work.
