Just remember, if you wear a mask now, you'll be obliged to wear one for the rest of your life.

Life is full of nuances. He helped a lot of people even while being consigned to the basket of deplorables. Kangaroo Court is our new justice system.
Still as my grandmother said, don’t spit up in the air. That goes for all sides.

I don't know what the hell you all are talking about. I didn't post this to make fun of him, I posted it because he's the same age as me and the virus doesn't care about our stupid politics.

It wasn’t about you. It was a reaction to the article. It drives me nuts that people don’t wear masks. FYI the guy died at home 3 days after diagnosis. That’s just not typical at all. He may have been the picture of health but I doubt we will ever know if that’s true or not.

This is a really sad story. I'm sure there are lots of people out there that this has happened to. Thinking the virus isn't going to hurt you or that it's just the flu is clearly zero protection against it.

I would hope that everybody knows the virus is capable of killing people regardless of age, politics, or favorite soft drink. Given that, these anecdotes will exist. I see no reason for a 'wow'. But then I'm particularly bad at deriving meaning from anecdote.

Interestingly at the 35 age level you would find the same number or more flu deaths. Of course they don’t make the news. And that’s with a vaccine.

See, that fact, if it is indeed fact, is way more interesting than an anecdote. To me. But not to most people.

COVID is much more deadly by percentage of those infected. Which means if the virus becomes ubiquitous, the numbers will far surpass flu deaths. I can't believe you both still don't understand that.

What are the percentages for 35 year olds we're comparing? Sorry for my ignorance.

You should do some math. I calculated 100% of those 35 and other getting Covid and multiplied by the IFR Of those 35 and under and my argument still holds.
