the reason for, what you call 'getting triggered' is simple
many people on this forum in many topics form 'ideas' and 'hypothesis' and make 'ICO prospectuses' but initial they word it as fact/sustainable project. helpful info. but then later go back and say that they are not doing harm, its only an idea/hypothesis
they lack actually doing real research to back up their info. instead they just search quotes that sound like it supports their idea. but dont actually critically think if their ideda is fact or fiction.
its like flatearthers. instead of actually experimenting and realising the earth is curved. they just google any quote that suggests its flat. and then use them niave quotes or mis represent the quote to entangle it into the fiction of their idea

as for putting numbers to it. and answering why covid19 is more serious than 2002's sars.. the answer is simple R0
2002s sars only had a transmission rate of near 1
this means in a 14 day period with all the people you come into contact with your probably only going to pass it onto 1 person
with the 2019 varient its more like 3
now if you know anything about pyramid scams and odds and ratios' and multiplication (all math/numbers games) you would know simple stuff like
fortnight: 1 2 3 4 5 6
2002: 1.3 1.7 2.2 2.9 3.7 4.8
2019 2.6 6.8 17.6 45.7 118.8 308.9
(simple note: the 6th fortnight 4.8/308 numbers are not numbers of people dying/severe. thats numbers of people getting it. the numbers of severe/ symptomatic/critical are much lover)
over 12 weeks alot more people are getting 2019
and no. dont even try t say that R0 is just some myth pulled out of my ass.. its actually a thing
the other thing is that when someone gets the symptoms (smal amount who actually feel it) with 2002 it was 2 days from infection. and those people usually call into work and have a few sick days and stay in bed
however 2019 varient is not noticed for 5-7 days meaning overall they touch more people, they visit vulnerable people thinking they are fine and so pass it on without knowing.
the third thing is the virus. although it is sars/corona base. it is not the exact same as 2002. this 2019 one can cause pneumonia. meaning its stronger than 2002 in all the ways i explained in this post.
anyway. while posting this i found a funny scene
the BBC was reporting a live meeting with scientific/health advisers
and many times i could hear a female cough.. the camera then pans across and has this woman coughing not into her sleeve. not using tissues and then rubbing her nose with her hand!!
