You can start comparing with _serious_ threats like Rabies (100%), aids (90%), smallpox (95%), tetanus (50%) Bubonic plague (40–60%). Yes in _that_ case I think maybe drastic policies would be justified.

Thanks for actually answering the question.

So what do you think your threshold is? If a new airborne transmitted disease with a 30% kill rate showed up, would centralized public health policies be OK?

What would you accept?

I'm inclined to side with the 1-3% mortality rate that came with COVID-19.
