Re: “What’s the mortality rate?”
So far, less than the influenza fatality rate in 2018.
Texas - 2018 - Influenza Fatalities - 3,516
Texas - 2020 - COVID-19 Fatalities - 2,778
No one ever said a word about the influenza holocaust in 2018.
Actually, if Texas counted influenza deaths the same way they count COVID-19 deaths, the influenza death toll would have been at least 10,000 in 2018.
Bottom Line...
Protect the elderly and the infirm.
For the rest of us, COVID-19 at its worst is just a severe common cold.
You’re very wrong in your statement, “...at its worst is just a severe common cold.” I’m not going to go through arguing it again, but I’ve previously posted on this forum that this virus does badly injure young people, and on occasion kills them. I’ve posted direct reports from physicians in my family, but the FluBros here refuse to hear anything that opposes their narrative.
You are right, though, that if you are young, most likely you will not get seriously ill. However, some will, and will end up in the hospital on O2 and possibly the ICU. It’s a dangerous virus.
