With all due respect, some of us follow the data.

For the state of Louisiana, here are the fatalities by Underlying Conditions (Last updated 12/23/2020)

Asthma-4.09%
Cancer-8.71%
Cardiac Disease-26.54%
Chronic Kidney Disease-22.22%
Congestive Heart Failure-16.8%
Diabetes-37.29%
Hypertension-63.99%
Neurological-27.38%
Obesity-20.75%
Pulmonary-14.53%
None-4.2%

I don't have the LA fatality data by age - though the median age in that state is 77. Nationally, 15.1% of all cases but 2.9% of all COVID19 fatalities were from people between 40-49 years of age, for a Case Fatality Rate of 0.32% for that lot vs 1.66% for the US.

So, is it impossible for the young to die from this bug? Heck no. Is there NEVER any underlying condition? Nope.

But data are data and facts are facts, and a relatively small proportion of young people die from this thing AND an almost equally small fraction of people die without an underlying condition.

I believe the question I answered asked what the underlying conditions were or if it was malpractice. The answer can be no underlying conditions and no malpractice. And yes the. i here if going people dying aren’t large but it does happen and more than most on this site will admit to

facts are stubborn things...
