Is that the definition of a FluBro? LOL. You do realize that just released data from New York shows that the majority of COVID-19 mortalities were aged 70 and over and have preexisting conditions:
"Of the 4,758 deaths in New York since the first one March 14:
61% were men
63% of the deaths were among those age 70 and older
7% of the deaths were those who were 49 and younger
No matter the age, COVID-19 is a serous illness for many people with underlying comorbidities
4,089 of those who died had at least one other chronic disease:
Hypertension - 55%
Diabetes - 37%
Others - hyperlipidemia / coronary artery disease / renal disease / etc - 16%

You started out as a FluBro, solidly in the FluBro camp. Now you think you are some kind of arbiter of fairness on the daily threads or something.
Again, says the FReeper who can't back up what they claim with a reference. And no, not an arbiter, but I do call out statements be represented as facts with without some sort of reference.
I'm sorry if that makes you uncomfortable.

Nice try, but you prove my point. I see you left out the 30% of the deaths were between 50 and 59 stat. So is 50 now “old and worthless”? You’re a FLuBro.
By the way, CCP-19 has about the same age-mortality distribution as the flu on a per case basis. CCP-19 just kills a lot more people who get it.

Graph about 1/4 of the way down the page for those that need a visual. Based on the SK data.

It was easier to get you to post your “old and sick” claim again than to dig through months of your HTT BS. And you post without sources yourself. Most of what I say has been documented repeatedly on these threads. Now the “sick, old people” argument can finally be put to rest, since the SK data clearly shows that the flu is just as bad for old people in terms of age distribution of mortality on a case basis as CCP-19. Which, if *you* want to dig through *months* of *my* posts, you can confirm I’ve been saying as well.
As for comorbidity, any disease that weakens your immune system will allow an existing condition to kill you. Or kill you itself, if it can. How many people die directly from the flu or colds? Hardly any, they die of other things once a cold or the flu weakens them. But it will have been caused by the flu. Just like it is with CCP-19, and many other diseases. It’s normal disease behavior.
