  > You said herd immunity involves a good fraction of the population dying which you don't know It's well-known by now that even the low-risk population (<50 age group) still has a 0.x% risk of dying directly from covid. It's insane that people are still minimising this. > Serious complications for the non-risk population is neither known nor expected. 1) it's "low-risk". "No-risk" is for the 0-20 age group, and they are not enough to provide herd immunity. 2) here is one known and documented complication for young people affected with covid.

There is not enough data yet to infer on long-term complications yet. But doctors are definitely monitoring this.

    for what it is worth, I believe it is a 0.0X% chance of dying for < 50. Alternatively put, x/10,000. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/05/12/science.abc3517 https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/05/12/scie...
