Imagine a bowl filled with 100 delicious multi-colored chocolate candies.
96 of them are perfectly safe.

Yes...96% of everyone who is infected with Covid recovers...although we still don't know what residual damage is done to these people, yet.
But Worldwide (including the USA)...4% of everyone who gets infected with Covid dies.
That is a FACT.
Stay Safe.
