So we are ruining the economy and people’s lives for average of death of 0.64%? That’s crazy !! Even at the higher risk age group of 5.4% is still very low and those higher risk groups can be protected until there is a vaccine or it runs it’s course.

The story is filled with maybe, were not sure, we estimate. Studies really not compatible. A whole story of we do not know.

Wow, sounds like something we don’t need to lockdown for

Already outdated, advances in treatment monthly, doubt it's half that now!😳

Over 70s more like 15% but under 40s 0.05%. No under 45 should ever have to lockdown

Diagnosed is key. Rate much lower as many more cases unknown. Also the over 80 group significantly skews this metric.

It's not great getting old

Yawn. Ignore the hype. Live your life.
