Corona is a joke. Protect the old and sick people and let it run its course through the rest of the population. Open everything back up. We are destroying our economy for nothing. Stop listening to fossils like Fauci. This is not a dystopian Hollywood film. It’s just a nasty flu bug. Stop the madness.
Here’s the proportions based on a February CDC mortality rate by age chart. Yes, it is heavily slanted towards the elderly. Yes, there is also a redefining of “elderly” down to 50+ by those bandying about the ratios.
Ignore the actual numbers, as we don’t know how many will actually end up being infected, but look at the proportions.
If the infection totals were like this years estimate of the flu:
320,000,000
*10% infection rate
32,000,000
Age count CDC chart .. .. Dead
20s 37.3M *0.1% ... ... 3,500
30s 43.2M *0.2% ... ... 9,000
40s 42.5M *0.4% ... ..17,000
50s 31.1M *1.3% ... .. 40,000
60s 20.3M *3.6% ... .. 73,000
70s 16.3M *8.0% .. ...130,000
80+ 9.2M *14 % .. ....128,000
... ... ... ... ... .. 404,000
As you can see, the shift in fatalities towards the elderly is not as strong as is implied. And for working age folk in their 60s is about 60% in numbers from those in their 80s.
