> Ebola is deadlier than corona. So's obesity.

The interesting thing about Ebola is that b/c its symptoms are so horrible and fatality rate so high (50%), people treated it much more seriously, therefore helping to contain it. COVID-19's asymptomatic nature is a curse in this way, leading to many more deaths.



Right, 2% of the whole world's population is a lot more people than 50% of of a few neighboring countries.
