Sure, and I think it is a good comparison in that the numbers are large and it is unexpected. The difference is that we as a society have come to regard them as an acceptable risk. In addition, they are isolated, so while they are common, the odds of 10 people you know dying in a car crash are very low. With a virus, an entire office could get sick or even worse an entire school. For me this is my primary fear. My kids entire school gets infected and kids start dying or being hospitalized in large numbers. This also adds to the economic impact. Its the clustering aspect of this that drives fear and uncertainty. |
