If it was 100% survivability instead of 99.997% survivability rate..

It does not quite work like that if you are the government.
Let’s use your figures, and put that into a real life scenario.
Let’s just say, there is a new COVID 25.
Lets just take the figure of death rate of 5.4% for 70+
In Australia, we have an ageing population which I am sure US has as well.
About 16% of the population is over 70.
Let’s have a small population area of East Gippsland Shire - east of Melbourne, with population of 49000.
The number of people over 70 there will be 7840. (Following so far?).
Let’s assume, the new COVID 25 infects 1 in 3. Then 2578 people will be infected.
If which, let’s assume its 5.4% death rate, means 139 will perish. Serious ill patient but survivable patient would be around the same number, around 139. Tally up, you get 278 patients needing ICU care +/- hospital care.
The number of ICU beds in entire Victoria state is about 500. And we usually run them at 90% capacity.
This mean, even a medium level small area outbreak of a pathogen with overall 99.997% survivability would push the medical system in a 1st world country to brink of collapse.
The bottom line, math dont lie, Twitter/X does.
