Bad statistics. —> bad decision making
Assuming that 3month into the future, the infection fatality rate of COVID19 for 30-45yo male in the US turns out to be 0.6%, does that mean the risk of dying...
Absolutely not, unless I have the average genetic make up and the average health of American men (nobody has that)
My risk is probably a lot higher or a lot lower depending on my actual genetic make up.
The point is that no one has the average American genetic make up, and our individual risk can be...
We need to find out our own data, rather than blindly applying the population average to ourselves. It does NOT apply most of the time.
Genetics play huge roles, as many severe cases run in blood relatives( among siblings and parents, but not spouses)
Or would you really want to volunteer to be the sacrificial guinea pig for your parents/siblings/kids to test out how well genes of your family handle COVID19?
I don’t, and I social-distance.
