Do death rates (which are dropping) matter at all? Or is all that matters, the number of people who get it? |

Yes, it matters. The only two metrics that matter are not cases and deaths however.
Given the relatively high percentage of what seem to be longer term complications for many people, that aren't deadly but still serious, this deserves a fair amount of caution still. |

Agreed 100%. I'm responding to the kooks here who believe that overall case counts are all that matter.
The one voice of reason here on the left. |

I don't know anyone who thinks overall case counts are all that matter. Positivity rate is a big factor. You would think that with increased testing the positivity rate would be going down if the virus was under control but it's actually going up which is really bad. |
