Well except that recorded Covid-19 deaths are statistically inseparable from deaths due to comorbidities and the overwhelming majority of recorded deaths were over 55 years old and had two or more comorbidities. The number of recorded Covid-19 deaths with zero comorbidities is some infinitesimal fraction (< 10%) of the overall “death count.” So, yes, as a perfectly healthy mid-30s adult I have a higher chance of dying in a car accident.
If anything we’ve successfully argued why people with comorbid risk factors (old age, diabetes, asthma, obesity, etc.) should remain isolated, but even that is looking sketchy as the death rate continues to plummet.
- WalterGR 6y agothe overwhelming majority of recorded deaths were over 55 years old and had two or more comorbidities. The number of recorded Covid-19 deaths with zero comorbidities is some infinitesimal fraction (< 10%) of the overall “death count.” A comorbidity is something that contributed to death, not necessarily a pre-existing condition. Please take another look at the CDC report you’re extrapolating your claim from. You’ll see comorbidities such as * Influenza and pneumonia * Adult respiratory distress syndrome * Respiratory failure * Respiratory arrest * Cardiac arrest As it stands you’re essentially saying that if you have no pre-existing conditions, then being shot is fairly risk free. After all, people who die from gunshot wounds have comorbidities like blood loss, cardiac arrest, brain damage, laceration of internal organs, and sepsis.
