Young people are basically at 0% mortality from covid
- ceejayoz 6y agoThat's the precise logical fallacy the article highlights - that mortality is not the only significant component here.

- FabHK 6y agoThat has no bearing whatsoever on what I said. For small kids, the flu and COVID-19 are the same - they're encountering it for the first time, and are basically ok with it. With adults, flu and COVID-19 are different: they have encountered the flu before, so it doesn't rampage through a population. COVID-19 does. In other words: for flu, we basically have achieved some level of herd immunity already.
- vicosity 6y agoYeah but children are getting that inflammatory syndrome.. Thats pretty devastating. A life ruined but still alive can basically be counted as a death.
- 6nf 6y agoEven if you count those it will still round to zero
- chillfox 6y agoThat feels like a lie considering I keep seeing articles about young people dying from covid.
- 6nf 6y agoA quick google search will show many studies for covid mortality by age. The news media likes to tug on heart strings by pointing to kids or LGBT or black or whatever people affected by covid even though the numbers are miniscule.
- PaulDavisThe1st 6y ago"Basically at 0%" doesn't cut it with a national population of 330M. 0.02% of school age children ... yeah, that indeed rounds to zero ... it also rounds to 14-15k dead children.
