how/why? it's exaggerated to make a point but it's not altogether wrong

If your house burning down meant 0.3% chance of death and no property damage then sure, its the same.
You know, your house being on fire doesn't necessarily mean it's going to burn down. Quick response from firefighters can really do a lot to reduce the amount of long-term damage. Sure, you'll have some water damage to deal with, but that's manageable too.

Of course, if you just arse around in the house and don't get out of the goddamn way of the firefighters, it's gonna be a hell of a lot harder to put out the fire and I imagine there's gonna be a lot more damage before all's said and done.

You're super confident of your number stats while this disease is still not clearly understood.

You should see that as a problem.
