The real problem with this is people always think of two outcomes, surviving and death. There are probably hundreds of thousands of people who have had their lives forever altered. Having to get kidney transplants, lung scarring, brain damage, etc.
We've already clearly determined that we are generally terrible at risk assessment, but people really miss the boat on this one. We don't have any idea the long term effects of this virus. Hopefully there won't be many, it's possible there won't be. But there's already some pretty good evidence this virus does a number on your organs. I mean that's not surprising, it's a nasty virus. Who knows what that will mean for people's life expectancy or health complications down the road? Maybe nothing, but we literally have no clue. Anyone who says they know the risks doesn't know the risks, because no one really does. It's just a guess like everything else.
