They count, but many of you discount the young healthy lives that were lost to H1N1 and the flu every year, in greater numbers than Covid. Covid is worse, but for a specific subset of the population. The story above is great, and the drug worked and the lady got better, but her story is an extremely rare occurence when it comes to Covid-19. It's currently estimated that 90% of hospitalizations and deaths are from those who are older than age 60 and/or an underlying condition.

I wish someone would\could break down the data for states that are locked down the longest\tightest vs. states that are a bit looser.
Especially after Cuomo's revelation yesterday that people who stayed home are still getting the virus. |

You say you believe in science, right? If you truly believe, hard stats show Covid-19 is not as dangerous for those young and healthy. Particularly under age 30, and most likely up to age 60 when the final IFR by age group is stated.

Of course you haven't. It was only all over the news yesterday and posted about in here several times. And you can "presume" all you want but since you haven't seen it I'd say you should probably read about it first.

Damn old people always screw up cherry-picked numbers.

Probably right on both counts really. You aren't ever going to build a herd immunity otherwise.

Guess I missed it. I'll be pleased to read about it. Because if these people had zero physical contact with other humans, that means it is airborne.
