VIRUS HITTING CLOSE TO HOME

What I don't understand is why a 1% death rate is tough to swallow.
.75 % would probably die from their pre-existing health problems within a short period either way. jmo
my only problem with this virus is that it is very contagious , not that it is life threatening for healthy people with a good natural immune system.
I have never taken a flu shot, so a shot for covid19 will not be of interest to me.
A vaccine will be valuable for chronic patients and the elderly . imo
