Why the need to call names, mcap? why is it that on this site there can be no reasonable discussion without name calling?

Again, I hope like hell that there is a large pool of people that have already contracted the virus, had mild symptoms and recovered. And that would make the death rate 1% or even less. But there is yet no proof of that. That means it is purely an assumption at this point. Assume....you know how that works?
