All the stats I presented were pulled from emotion. Actual death stats are around 1.2 million people in the US, 1/300th the population, or .33% (during the 2 year pandemic. Deaths to Covid 19 becoming endemic will grow). Stats were higher %-wise in less developed countries. These stats are easily available to you online, additionally I personally feel the value of any loss of life should never be attributable to a rounding error unless all other reasonable options are completely and intolerably exhausted.
