This is also why the flu can be tragic. It kills a lot of VERY young people. Children, that is.

No it doesn’t.

No it doesn’t.

Yes it does. Search for the word, “children”. The document is for 2017. The quote” In 2017, a total of 22,335 deaths occurred in children under age 1 year.

How does that compare to CV19?

My bad. That is total deaths.

Go to table 5 for a better idea, but Influenza and pneumonia are combined.

The point is that the flu attacks the young more than the old, while CV19 is the opposite, especially the very old and infirm. Take those people out of the equation, and the risk to everyone else seems extremely low. Certainly low enough that we need not shut down our culture and economy.
