In reply to the discussion: 2,000 join rally against Newsom's stay-at-home coronavirus orders at California's Capitol [View all]eppur_se_muova
(36,247 posts)31. So, at a 3.4% fatality rate, that's a maximum of 68 people dead -- for showing up in public.
Don't worry, though, in actuality it will probably be less than a dozen or so -- the worst case scenario is highly unlikely. Losing a half-dozen or so is more like a statistical certainty. And isn't that worth it, really, for the freedom to spend an hour or so outside doing, umm, basically nothing, even given that if they hadn't all shown up at the same time, the fatalities would most likely be zero ?
