The mortality rate for COVID-19 is far lower than ~1 in 20, and yet we take that awfully (and justifiably) seriously.



1 in 20 don't usually die of COVID-19, but nearly a third of Americans never marry. I think it's obvious why the effect is much less noticeable in one case, notwithstanding that one literally ends up with people dead.
