It is also kind of interesting that the government and all countries are scared of a virus of which you need to be tested of to know if you even have it. Times won’t get easier, that’s what my grandma says always
Ever thought that they might be scared of it since 1% of the general population dies from it?
1% isn't much until you put it into perspective.
Population of the world: 7.594 billion
1% of the population: 75.94 million
UK Population: 66.65 million
1% of the population: 666,500
Case in point, a percentage may look small but it has a very large impact. It's very dangerous to look at a percentage without considering the actual impact. Additionally, you have to consider how a virus is spread, which means that though some may have higher mortality rates, they are much less likely to be spread to many people.
