0.004 percent of people who contract covid 19 will die as a result.
Please be safe, sensible, and respectful of others, however do not make the mistake of thinking that if you are unlucky enough to contract the virus that it is a certainty that you will be fast tracked to the grave.
The headline figures are appalling, however they are just that, and the way they are being reported designed to shock.
I look forward to the time when reliable antigen testing is rolled out and it is revealed that 30 million plus in the population have been infected without even as much as a sneeze or cough, the headline figures will be put into some sort of context.
98% of people infected are either asymptomatic, or display only mild symptoms, of the 2% remaining, 80% of those will go on to make a full recovery.
There are many things in life that contribute to our eventual demise, this virus although unpleasant and in certain cases deadly, it should not be regarded as a reason to put your life on hold, in fact far from it.
We are all put on this planet but once, you don't get a refund, and if you don't grasp life with both hands and make the most of it, then you are confusing quality with quantity.
Don't waste time, it is very precious, in fact it is our most precious commodity, as once spent it cannot ever be regained.
