That's a pretty disingenuous way to frame things. The state of TX has experienced 7,341 deaths out of 454,364 confirmed cases - so far. Besides a 1.61% death rate being nothing to sneeze at (and it's probably actually higher than that), you have absolutely no idea how many of those 28.9 million Texans will ultimately contract COVID - nor will you always personally know if you're an asymptomatic carrier, responsible for infecting more of your fellow citizens. To each their own, but I would not want to take my chances with the actual odds you face in TX today. And I wouldn't take those chances with other people's lives. It's not just about you. |

No, it's way lower than that. Deaths are probably undercounted, but nowhere near as much as infections are.
