"If you have a post made by me at the time that shows I dismissed the lives of those who died from COVID-19, bring it forward. The previous threads are there and available."

I'm not digging through potentially *months* of your posts to find one where you made the point it affects primarily the old and sick.

You started out as a FluBro, solidly in the FluBro camp. Now you think you are some kind of arbiter of fairness on the daily threads or something.

"Meaning what? I thought so, you don't know."

And it seems I touched a nerve.

Is that the definition of a FluBro? LOL. You do realize that just released data from New York shows that the majority of COVID-19 mortalities were aged 70 and over and have preexisting conditions:

"Of the 4,758 deaths in New York since the first one March 14:
61% were men
63% of the deaths were among those age 70 and older
7% of the deaths were those who were 49 and younger

No matter the age, COVID-19 is a serous illness for many people with underlying comorbidities
4,089 of those who died had at least one other chronic disease:
Hypertension - 55%
Diabetes - 37%
Others - hyperlipidemia / coronary artery disease / renal disease / etc - 16%

- see https://covid19tracker.health.ny.gov/views/NYS-COVID19-Tracker/NYSDOHCOVID-19Tracker-Fatalities?%3Aembed=yes&%3Atoolbar=no&%3Atabs=n

You started out as a FluBro, solidly in the FluBro camp. Now you think you are some kind of arbiter of fairness on the daily threads or something.

Again, says the FReeper who can't back up what they claim with a reference. And no, not an arbiter, but I do call out statements be represented as facts with without some sort of reference.

I'm sorry if that makes you uncomfortable.
