I don't have to. You're asking for me to be a virologist to prove a point about your wanting to keep people scared by directing me to the strawman of "name a virus" when the whole point of the argument was that if the virus was really deadly enough to justify what we're doing, we would be doing more. Go ahead and actually refute my argument, I'm still waiting.
GTIfan 101: Commit logical fallacies to support an unsupportable argument while accusing everyone else of doing same.
You used Ebola and viruses like ebola in your logical fallacy.
I called you out on it.
Now you claim I'm wrong for asking you to back your claim.
And exactly, you don't know anything about viruses and infectious disease, so you should shut the fuck up.
I refuted your claim in my first reply.
Ebola, and other high mortality viruses, have short latency periods, which makes them easy to contain. Though 90% die from ebola, they get very ill, very quickly. During ebola outbreaks, you see hundreds of deaths, but they're generally isolated to a small region.
Covid 19 has a mortality rate of .7%, but kills more people, and spreads rapidly, because of the 3 to 7 day latency period and asymptomatic carries.
.7% of 7 billion people, without mitigation, is a lot of dead people. 40% of the population being morons like you and zrickety is why we didn't do more.
