99.7%, or something like that, of deaths are 80 years and older. The young would do well to take advantage of the cheap flights while they last.

That way they can all get the virus and spread it to the elderly and save social security for themselves.

As long as the risk of a long quarantine when they go home is acceptable to them. But if I were in my 20s with a lot of spare time, I’d go for it.

Just avoid contact with nursing homes and the elderly when you get back.

Each one of them is like a typhoid Mary...they get a mild case and then spread it around.

BULLCRAP. "99.7%" are over 20. The 60-and-up are dramatically affected.

Get your data straight, please. Here are the death rates by age group.

One of my first thoughts. Their risk is relatively low.

[dinodino]

That’s not the figure from the WHO report.

[DrewsMum]

Yep.

Nobody should be flying unless it’s for business-related purposes. Which means mostly middle-aged folks flying. These ‘young’ are the most likely to be asymptomatic carriers and should be banned. They may not get seriously ill, but they sure can make others seriously ill. Back to the basements with these bat people. only half /s
