I DON'T CARE.
They are more unpleasant than just catching the virus. 99% chance I'm sick for a few days at worst. <1% chance I have long term problems. <.1% chance I die.
I'll take those odds to have my life back, and to be able to breath without a mask.
Cool. And are you also up for say 5% chance of each of your parents dying or 10% of one of your grandparents? How many people that you know and care about are you willing to have die so that you don't have to wear a mask?
Parents: Yes, I'd take that risk.
My grandparents are already dead.
How many would I be willing to have die: 340 million x .02 IFR x .7 (rough estimate of what it would take to reach herd immunity) = 476k, which we are well on our way to already. I'm fine with that number.
