Also...the deaths themselves...75% of ALL deaths from Covid19 are people with underlying conditions.

73.6% of all deaths from Covid19 are people who are 65 years of age and older (mostly older)

Only 0.7% of all Covid19 deaths are from people who doctors are certain have no underlying conditions.

All data and all science says that people under 65 years old without health problems are far less affected by this than the flu.
That's just science.

I know the media isn't reporting this. But it's fact.

In other words...stay away from older people (they should stay isolated). Nursing homes should be a top priority. And if you have a health condition it is also up to you to stay isolated.

The rest of us??? Nope. We're gonna be fine. Just stay away from old and unhealthy people if THEY are too stupid to stay isolated.
I agree with this. These are the numbers I have also seen. It is low risk to healthy and young people.

Side note. I did lose all sense of taste and I am 54 so that is a bit of a bummer.
