That number is still only for extremely at risk segments of the population, and the study has such a small sample size that it should be taken with large grains

That number is still only for extremely at risk segments of the population, and the study has such a small sample size that it should be taken with large grains of salt.
- koheripbal 7y agoI wouldn't dismiss the entire elderly population of Earth "extremely at risk" population. They are our mothers/fathers/grandparents...
- aldoushuxley001 7y agoI’m saying that’s what that study accounted for: extremely at risk populations. So yeah elderly, people with preexisting conditions, etc. It’s not a dismissal to acknowledge the limitations of your linked study; to do otherwise would be fearmongering in my opinion.
