I never said it wasn't deadly lol
If disease A kills 100% of 1000 people before running out of steam, and disease B kills 1% of 1,000,000,000 people, disease B is 10,000 times deadlier. If you have a choice of two jobs, one which makes $1000 an hour and lets you work one hour a month, or another that pays $100 an hour and gives you 40 hours a week, which job pays more?
