Just ordered the BAF and Starlord. This is my first time Ordering a BAF-only from Dorkside, I'll learn soon what kind of adventure this will be.

Numbers can be funny things, especially when viewed in isolation. Only about 1%-2% of polio cases are paralytic and of those individuals 5-10% of the patients die. However, a society bereft of the amassed knowledge (both medical and otherwise) that we benefit from was able to understand the threat and marshal a counteroffensive that all but eradicated cases in the modern age.

Beyond the 600,000+ dead that would likely appreciate a redo, or beg to differ with you regarding the level of "seriousness" with which we should regard Covid-19, there are some elements embedded in the survival rate you've touted that demonstrate the challenges of viewing this pandemic from a purely quantitative standpoint. Absent from your sharing of a largely empty, contextually speaking, data point are the percentages of survivors that had near death experiences, long term and financially crushing hospital stays, long haulers who still aren't right, and the people that have had their lives completely and forever changed as a result of contracting Covid-19. Those now needing lung transplants. Those with destroyed kidneys and in need of dialysis. Formely athletic people that now need oxygen concentrators to get through the day. People with damaged hearts and dangerous arrhythmias. A host of life altering conditions are the reward for many survivors and now kids are showing up in larger numbers in ERs around the country.

But, yes, the survival percentage you bring up is accurate and, if you so choose, you are entitled to ignore recommended precautions and guidelines. It is a free country.
