Here are a couple of links from the CDC. You listen to too much news if you think that young people are at risk. For [0] you should do weekly deaths by age. You'll see that under 25 people are dying at the lowest rate in the past 5 years. For 26-45 you can bet your bottom dollar that the minor bump above is the 40-45 range.

- hcknwscommenter 6y agoYou are bad at separating probability from risk versus no risk. These are separate things. Young people are MOST CERTAINLY at risk. It is just that the risk is smaller. But young people do die of coronavirus and/or suffer serious complications. Your analysis of excess deaths is laughably bad. Miles driven is WAY down. People under 25 are driving way less and therefore dying way less. Coronavirus, which affects young people less is not increasing excess deaths much in that background.
- tfehring 6y agoIf you get it, regardless of your age, there's a relatively high probability that you will directly and indirectly infect enough people to kill at least one person. I don't want that responsibility on my conscience. Also, while the data on this for for COVID-19 is obviously limited at this point, the long-term impacts of SARS and MERS on cardiovascular health [0] are concerning. I wouldn't be surprised if getting it knocks a couple years off of life expectancy for a 25 year old.
