Could someone please identify any American who has DIED of COVID-19 and who, at the time of their death, was 1) under 80 years old AND 2) was reasonably healthy?


Both of the co-workers I know of who died of it were well under 80, and otherwise healthy.

The deaths are slanted towards the elderly, and the otherwise sick, but nowhere near exclusively. The data has shown for a long time that the break point is in the mid 40s, as opposed to around 60s for the flu. And “comorbities” includes conditions that people live with in general good health for decades, such as minorly high blood pressure.

I’ll note that COVID has another break point in the late teens, under which only a handful appear to have died of it.

I’ll also note that a number of people that I know that have had it were seek for weeks to months before fully recovering. Most do much better than that.

All that said, there has been an extreme over-reaction.

My company I work for has 90,000 employees across the US....6 have died, all were overweight, elderly , and other problems....6/. 90,000=0.00006 death rate.....not even a bad flu. When does this nonsense end?
