So here's some good news. You stayed home, you didn't catch (or spread, if you caught it) Covid. Well done, you stopped 4 people getting it 5 days later (1)
That means 5 days after that 16 people didn't have it... And you get where this is going. It also means 33 days later, on average, you saved someone's life (2)
Because the number who die of this disease, the proportion, is more or less that. 3 generations worth of spread is enough such that about 1 person is dead. And the average time it would have taken to kill that person is 33 days (3)
You were careful? You were responsible? Did you isolate if you thought you might have the disease? Then you're a goddamn hero and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Well done. (Fin)
