Why Is the Covid-19 Death Rate Down?
- KingMachiavelli 6y agotldr; Young people are more likely & eager to visit high transmission places like bars & restaurants while the older demographics will stay where it's safe. At this point, it would be very interesting to see where the inflection point of at what age to people tend to self isolate vs 'risk' social venues. Personally, even in a very liberal state, I can't name anyone that feels safer isolating. People who are younger are more likely to live alone and experience the mental health impact of that which makes the risk-reward balance turn into attending anything that is allowed to be open. As I said, I'm in a pretty liberal state & only know STEM introverts and even still they are feeling many side effects that greatly outway their personal risk of COVID19.
- babesh 6y ago- It is good that fewer people are dying. - Some of the most vulnerable have already died. That is probably an additional reason the death rate is now lower. - The more vulnerable do seem to be much better protected than before. ------- - People walking outside without masks is probably not a big concern. - Packing people together causes it to spread like wildfire.
