If 150K people die from this this year you are still 4x more likely to die from heart disease. I get the unknown part of it makes it scary but the truth is a very very small % of the country is at risk of dying even if they get it.
Nothing invalid about any of that. Its pragmatic.

Yes there is. When heart disease becomes contagious and you can catch it by being in the same room as someone, or soon after they left the room, then you may have a valid comparison.
