  1. Sorry....unless you have crayons and paper I cannot clarify it any better... just stay inside since you are at a high risk

    The fact that you take the number of dead and divide it over total U.S. population shows us all your understanding of rates and statistics :)

    False. The US data does not support you there have been thousands of deaths in age groups some of you assume are negligible risk.

  3. All age groups is virtually zero. Numbers of dead don't even rise to the level of a rounding error. Covid death scare is fake news

    Cuomo told us months ago 95% of the deaths were with those who had underlying health problems.

    The CDC told us who were high risk months ago.

    For those with healthy immune systems not in the high risk groups this virus has the same type of risk as the flu. Some people die from the flu. Sometimes it even kills healthy people. So do Car accidents.

    For those 30+ and in reasonable shape, though, the virus can still make them sick for weeks, and do permanent damage to their lungs (or other organs). It's beyond stupid to downplay it because you "probably won't die".

    For those 30 plus and 30 minus and in reasonable shape, getting shot in Chicago can make them sick for weeks or do permanent damage to their lungs or other organs. It's beyond stupid to downplay that because you probably won't die.

    Do you have data on that.
    The flu screws up some people too.

    What percent of people under 50 with no underlying conditions and who are not obese have serious complications? (and define serious)

    I have read the those articles and I don't know what to make of them. They never have data.

    It's like asymptomatic transmission. There is no evidence of significant asymptomatic transmission but everyone is scared of it and almost every article supporting the wearing of masks brings it up as an important reason to wear a mask.

    What is the data showing?

    We have a vaccine for the flu.
