Specifically because the data doesn’t exist yet so they have a coping mechanism shunning all discussion of possibilities
The media coverage and social media narrative is very doom laden and fearful, so there are no shortage of places to discuss that.
Whilst the people highlighting the 99.9% survival rate unless you are very old or sick and questioning whether nuking your economy is worth it have a very socially unacceptable view.
It’s been a strange and isolating experience for me to hold a minority socially unacceptable view throughout this whole thing. I feel for minority groups much more nowadays having experienced it.
are you referring to these as the same thing? like "minority group opinions" as literary synonyms
or
are you empathizing with power/race minority because you once held a less popular view?
its not really clear here.
That's how data is collected to have a data-driven conclusion.
