Ignoring the very high incidence of serious secondary consequences, which appear to be on the order of 20x mortality, lessee, from what we knew about 2 months ago:



We do not have good data about those secondary consequences yet, but I'm suspecting that you haven't thought too much about the damage a virus that is binding to ACE2/3 and doing a bunch of other complex things to cellular processes, may cause. I would file ignoring the risk under "extremely reckless behavior that should be penalized by the State."
