No. Even a healthy person has a chance to become infected ...
and then (IIRC) an 80% chance of mild to moderate symptoms.

Nonsense. Nobody is saying that. The data from Italy shows that if you are over age 30, it’s anywhere from 3x to many many times deadlier than the flu.

Folks here are so quick to discount deaths like this bc it suits them politically to do so. This man, even with the so-called health concerns, would have probably survived regular flu.

This virus id easy to spread, easy to catch and if you have the wrong genetics it can take you out even young and if healthy. If you’re older and/or have contributing factors, the chances it can hit you hard go up.

I’m 68, fmr smoker, still vape, am type 2, have had double pneumonia. I’m going nowhere.
