I’ll take the 1% if that 2.5% to 1% is the range... but that is still a very bad outcome overall. I am not personally terribly concerned. But I have family members in the “bad outcome” age range. Let’s make sure the basis for that 1% (or whatever it is) is as small as possible. 1% of 100,000 is a lot different from 1% of 10 millions. Or 100,000,000. (US only)
