Now I have to produce sources. Also fuck you and the limping horse of an emotional argument you rode in on.
If you cant read the newsarticles telling young people "they are not immune" for what they are (idiot bait, aimed at idiots that dont respect curfews, because they dont understand that even if they are young, theyd still be great carriers of the virus), thats not my fault.
If you then jump on "lacross player thats so dreamy, also has it, how horrible" - thats yours, because you fundamentaly dont understand how statistics work.
South Korea was one of the countries that handled the outbreak rather well. US did not - but then population densitiy is higher in South Korea, so that should average out over the entire US population (Meaning, in big cities, probably more than 0.2% of young people will die.).
Now get lost with your human interest stories of that dreamy eyed lacross player - if you are not receptive to actual figures.
(Dont run your mouth.)

Instead, the higher case rate among older Americans strongly suggests a true underlying, biological vulnerability, probably exacerbated by preexisting illnesses which, according to data from China, sharply raise the risk of both infection and serious illness.
That likely explains why although older Americans represented 31% of the cases, they accounted for 45% of hospitalizations, 53% of ICU admissions, and 80% of deaths, the CDC reported.
In contrast, no ICU admissions or deaths were reported among people younger than 20.

In South Korea, for example, which had an early surge of cases, the death rate in Covid-19 patients ages 80 and over was 10.4%, compared to 5.35% in 70-somethings, 1.51% in patients 60 to 69, 0.37% in 50-somethings. Even lower rates were seen in younger people, dropping to zero in those 29 and younger.
