It is certainly not unheard of for younger people to get very sick and die from COVID.

It’s not as common as in the elderly, but it happens.

80,000 people died of the flu in 2018, some of them young and healthy, and we didn’t shut down the entire country and destroy the livelihoods of millions of people.

Lucky thing we have Einsteins like you now to show us how things should be done and how wrong we were to not end the United State of America right there and then.

Thank you for your service. You are a hero.

I asked that once. The reply was that they keep quiet about it and drive on.

I've had Covid and fortunately my symptoms were mild. I've known a couple of healthy young people that have contracted Covid and died from it. I've also known a couple in their late 70's with everything else wrong with them who had very mild Covid cases.

Your chances are better if you're young in good health than if you're old with other health conditions, there's no question about that. However, it affects people differently and there are plenty of otherwise healthy young people dying from it.

The disease is real and people are dying from it. Quite frankly the people on this forum who deny that are just as idiotic as the leftists that are screaming to shut everything down because it's armageddon. It seems to have almost become a status symbol around here to make blanket dumb statements like "you have nothing to worry about unless you're old with comorbidities". That's simply not true. BS, whether it comes from the left or the right, all smells the same.

Wow. Well thought out response, given the dozens of studies showing the uselessness of masks. Besides, how do you know he wasn’t wearing one?

maybe more but INCREDIBLY FEW.

So be honest and don’t say it in a way that is basically propaganda garbage, as you and others have done befoe

Avoid the hospital, at all costs, with China Flu!

That’s what the early warnings were, anyway.

“...Why do republicans always get Covid, but Democrats do not.?...”

Most likely because they’ve all been on HCQ since their CCP-colluded planned virus release date. Yet, at the same time, denying this inexpensive simple medicine to the “unwashed masses” in order to drive up a high kill rate and increase the media over-hype. All to destroy Trump and the juggernaut U. S. economy. Gotta love them, RATs. Evil bassturds that they are. /s

Here in Maine, the Maine CDC always states that the person died WITH the covid virus.

I’m assuming that means they had other health issues, but who knows.....most are in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, even over 100.

But not all of them.

I think he actually had a heart attack. He was treated with Remdesivir and steroids.....I wondered why he wasn’t given Regeneron. Very, very sad.

Read somewhere that more people who wore masks died from Chinese than people who did not wear masks.

It can happen to anyone. I’m not denying that. Not what I was saying at all.

“What was his co-mobidity?”

He was fit and healthy. I really doubt there was medical malpractice. My friend was fit and healthy and died of covid last week at age 58.No co morbidities.

Russia just upped their covid deaths from 50k to 190k

Too many deniers on the right.

Wait until the new strains hit.

That’s what I was thinking this headline meant, as well 🤷‍♀️
