Yep you are a fool. The reason we always know about the oddball death of a young person from COVID related complications is due to the fact the chances of this happening IS STATICALLY ALMOST ZERO. It’s like seeing big foot or a blue lobster. It makes the news.

It is not statistically almost zero. More like 1% chance, which is quite high if you think about it. If you knew that you had a 1 in 100 chance of dying from a fatal disease if you contracted it, wouldn’t you avoid catching it? To put it in perspective, the chance of dying from skydiving is commonly estimated at 1 in 1000 per jump.

More worrisome is the potential long-term effects. In Israel, doctors are estimating as many as 30% of “recovered” COVID-19 have suffered cognitive decline. Here’s an article on the topic:
