I was responding to your assertion that since most people get better, what's the big deal. You're the one that took it off the topic of chloroquine. If this thing kills 1% of the people it infects (a realistic number) and it infects most of the populace (a realistic possibility for a highly virulent virus such as this), that's millions. It can be less if we practice distancing, wear masks, etc. Many projections take some of these measures into account. It's already killed 22 thousand Americans and we are just getting to know this thing.

It wasn't my assertion at all. Somebody posted this:
"Here's the thing, for the vast majority of people with this disease, they will get better with or without treatment."
Seems like the author was implying exactly what you're accusing me of. . . .
