What are the ages of those who died? I’ll be surprised if every single one of them doesn’t belong to the at-risk age group or have underlying conditions. I’ll also be surprised if all or most of those who haven’t died belong to the same age group but are healthier overall. I’m basing this on cruises I’ve taken and the makeup of the passengers.

Numbers tell us facts but numbers alone don’t tell us all the facts.

The statistics of the early casualties are heavily skewed by the demographic you reference.

The weak die fast, then there is a trickle of deaths as cases slowly resolve over *months*.

This virus has roughly the same age-death distribution as the flu, just with a higher amplitude. Nobody is “safe” or “immune”.
