No, it’s not. The confirmed death rate for people under 40 is around 0.2% of confirmed cases, which means its likely 50, 75% or as much as 90% lower than that as mild cases are not recorded. Yes, some will die - it’s true of the flu - but you have higher odds of dying of a car accident this year.

The death rate is low, but the critical care rate the same for young adults, middle aged folks as it is for the elderly.

You do not want to get seriously sick with this virus, no matter how old you are.

You are looking at several weeks in critical care, and possible permanent lifetime lung impairment.

By focusing on the death figures you are misleading folks on the true dangers of this virus.
