gollark: I agree, but I don't think we would agree on *what*.
gollark: So in short, it would actually be very bad if we had COVID-19 but twice as infectious and with a 99% death rate, and no extant threat would come close.
gollark: That many people dying would utterly break hospitals (if anyone even turns up when they might just die from trying to treat people) and also everything else.
gollark: People would probably avoid human contact a lot more than they actually have been bothering to with COVID-19, but this hypothetical virus is twice as infectious so that would be a problem.
gollark: No, basically everyone.
