On top of that, downplaying the severity of covid is critical to the arguments of those who want this to be over for political, economic, or any reasons.

The focus by many has been deaths. Mortality rate can be spun to make covid seem not so bad.

If we start talking about the percentage of people whose lives are significantly affected, we create a much bigger percentage. If you’re trying to paint the opposite picture, it’s not in your interest to acknowledge or increase awareness of that percentage.
