people are too invested in trying to drive up every single negative stat to non realistic numbers

it ends up being counterproductive, as fools like MAGATs will turn around and use it against us when those numbers never occur

the same thing happened earlier on when you had merchants of doom trying to push a figure of 5 million or so US deaths by spring 2021 as taking a woefully UNDERCOUNTING stance, that is would be 9 or 10 million dead by then, which just is madness and fear-mongering

recently (maybe 30 to 45 minutes ago or so) on MSNBC a doctor just said it is probably around 1% or so lethality in reality and the other panellists agreed
