I'm sorry, but that's just plain inaccurate and totally not true whatsoever.
I personally know 7-8 people that have died FROM COVID. Not "with" COVID and were going to die ANYWAY from something else. They died FROM COVID. And not ONE of them were "elderly" or "infirm".
I also know a couple of 17-25 year olds (one a top high school athlete) that were in ICU, a 30-something year old in ICU, etc.
Quit falling for the spin - and I hate to say it, but it's true - "right wing talking points". COVID can take you out, regardless of your age, your perceived health, vitamin intake, perceived immune system, etc. And it can do so regardless of your age or perceived "health". Just ask the 51 year old guy I mentioned..he wasn't "elderly" (he was 51). He wasn't "infirm" as he was kind of a partying brawler. Fit as a horse. Thought his immune system would protect him. Classic FR story - "I'm strong..I'm (relatively) young..I don't have any health issues" etc etc etc.
Yeah, he's D-E-A-D today.
Go explain that one. Oh, I get it..someone failed him in his healthcare..if only they gave him HCQ and/or Invermectin..or..or..or..right.
I'm sorry, but that's just plain inaccurate and totally not true whatsoever.
The operative words are "not that deadly." In which case, metmom IS accurate and totally true.
Per the CDC's own COVID19 data, through May there has been less than 1 fatality per 100,000 citizens under 18 years of age with COVID19 on the death certificate. The per capita death total for older folks basically triples by age bracket. The fatality statistics are higher than the average for people 65+, i.e. the elderly (or, if that offends the 65-74 year olds, it's even worse for the 75+ crowd).
In addition, per this CDC page, studies have shown that COVID-19 does not affect all population groups equally. The risk of severe COVID-19 increases as the number of underlying medical conditions increases in an individual. The CDC page offers a rich pool of data and studies backing this assertion.
In addition, only 6% of all fatalities attributed to COVID19 had no comorbidities on the death certificate.
I totally agree, that "COVID can take you out, regardless of your age, your perceived health, vitamin intake, perceived immune system, etc.". This is a nasty bug that can kill you in the brain, lungs, kidney, and gut...it's almost like it was manufactured to be this ninja-like.
But data aren't spin.
