> Over 90% of the dead so far are old with comorbidites such as Hypertension and Diabetes What's your definition of "old"? I looked at your statista.com link and about 2/3 of deaths in NY are from people aged 75 and up. That leaves a non-trivial number of deaths for "middle-aged" people (and maybe younger). Also, I don't know many middle-agers without some co-morbid condition, so I'm not sure we can just ascribe the deaths exclusively to "old sick people" because an enormous portion of the US population is "sick" with a morbid condition. That being said, I will admit that there are many conflicting pieces of data flying about. Are the PCR and antibody tests reliable enough to base our lock-down decisions? Do we already have "herd immunity" and we're just too stupid/reluctant/lack-the-testing-capacity to realize it? I have no clue. From my vantage-point it seems that most of us have our philosophical flags planted and we aren't willing to soberly assess where we are and maybe change our opinions. It would be "nice" to have an AMA from an epidemiologist with expertise in this area to cut through the noise.
