Per CDC, as of March 27, 2021, the case fatality rate (CFR) in the US (fatalies where COVID19 was listed as a comorbidity on the death certificate divided by total cases) was 1.77%.

The CFR for people from birth through 4 years of age was 0.02% (102 fatalities).

The CFR for people ages 5-17 was 0.01% (227 fatalities).

As a group, the CFR for people under 18 is about 1-in-8200, akin to the chance of dying for all ages from an accidental firearm discharge.

These people can't do long division, or perform basic risk management.

FWIW, the CFR for people 18-29 is 0.038%, which is comparable to the chance for all ages of dying from choking on food.

Must be the New Math...don’t they even check their work? Believe the science!

I’m glad these people aren’t in charge of balancing my checkbooks (yes, I still balance my checkbooks...both of them.)
