Bah it's overblown frankly. 250,000 deaths globally. Considering 1,300,000 a year die from just car accidents... better quarantine us away from cars as well. Meanwhile I'm still waiting in line behind 20 other people to buy a pack of smokes.
Covid 19 has a mortality rate of 1-2%. You have a 1 in 77 chance of dying in an automobile accident in the US. Seeing as I'm on the road nearly every day of my life and don't wear a crash helmet on the sidewalk I'm not exactly worried.
I don't even...
The reason we're "only" at 250,000 deaths globally is because most country's are quarantined. This is 250,000 deaths since what? February? March? So that's 250,000 deaths in 2-3 months.
Your example of a car crash. First of all, there's a chance of 0,2% you get in a car accident every 1,000 miles (so let's say that's a month). Of those 0,2% accidents, there's a 1% chance you'll die.
So that's 0,002% chance of you dying in a car accident every month. Idiot.
Another thing to keep in mind is that, unlike car accidents, coronavirus cases — and, therefore, deaths — can expand exponentially. Someone with the virus can infect two to three others. Out of every hundred people who contract it, experts believe one will die.
I'm dumbfounded of how ignorant you are, seriously.
Edit: And to your argument of that Taleworlds is working from home: Do you have any experience in that?
Communication is simply A LOT harder if everyone is working from home in comparison of everyone working in the same room/building. You just can't compare it
