Mortality isn't the only metric in order to base your risk assessment.

Seldom does anyone talk about cases between 25-60 in which health professionals work overtime to ensure they can pull through. My close friend who's in his early 30's has spent the last 5 months in ICU and has a long road to recovery. While this isn't reported as a death, it surely degrades their life for a significant period of time, if not forever.

It's easy to say 'it isn't fatal' until you're personally impacted. Ball game has changed since most have opted for the vaccine, but let's refrain from non-topical SYA posts, as this detracts from the main reason we attend this forum.
