Are you really claiming with a straight face that the chance of a young person who gets infected dying is 1/100?
Would love to see you try to provide a source for that...
- Aachen 6y agoAre we really going to split hairs over what the exact percentage is or can we talk about the point? To me it seems like crazy talk to pose something, which would cause millions of deaths, to be unbelievable not to do. I'd be much more interested in how they think this could possibly work in a safe manner than debating whether it causes 5 per thousand or 10 per thousand (a sibling comment said 0.63%, so 6.3 million among the billion young people we have). Something something straight face.
- _-___________-_ 6y agoYou’re probably two orders of magnitude off. Not exactly splitting hairs. (Sibling comment is talking about CFR, not IFR.) Any conclusions you might reach based on that kind of exaggeration of the risk are pretty meaningless.
