Thank you to the three FReepers whose posts I mushed together into one paragraph to add to my collection:

The mortality rate is ~.026 %. The case fatality rate varies between 1 and 4 % with the rate skewed heavily toward those over 59. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210307/Study-analyzes-COVID-fatality-rate-using-age-and-GDP-as-proxies-for-the-quality-and-abundance-of-healthcare.aspx
“ skewed heavily toward those over 59.
Who are obese
Who use zinc depleting medications
Who have insufficient vitamin D levels
Who are frail
Who were killed by Cuomo or Witmer or Wolfe
“Who use zinc depleting medications”
Dang, I looked up those medications, it is a lengthy list. In my case, Flonase / Rinocourt alergy inhaler. Simple chewable antacids, and diuretic hydroclorothiazide. The first two I can avoid. Not the last as it is part of my blood pressure regiment. I’m taking 5000mg of zinc picolinate a day, might up that every other day to 10,000mg

There are many studies that show that low levels on Vitamin D have strong negative correlations with COVID deaths. In fact researchers report that the prevalence of severe vitamin D deficiency (defined as 25(OH)D less than 25 nmol/L) STRONGLY AND NEGATIVELY CORRELATED with the COVID-19 death rate per million people.

More evidence on vitamin D deficiency and death rates from COVID-19

Given that many Americans are so vitamin-depleted THAT THEY SUFFER FROM SCURVY, you can imagine that there are lots of excellent targets for COVID cases and deaths.
