If young healthy people have never been at risk, then they are not currently at any risk whatsoever, and have not previously been at any risk.
But a nontrivial percentage of young people hospitalized for COVID are not obese, and some otherwise healthy young people have died.
So the claim is false. "Much less risk" is not "no risk."
- timr 6y agoYou're re-stating what I wrote. There's a very small risk. It is not zero. If you want to attack someone (again: not me) for saying "there's no risk to young people unless they're obese" -- which is essentially what the OP said -- then that's your prerogative, but I have better places to grind axes. I think it's important to make it clear that the risk is quite small indeed, and let people make up their own minds. That's different than implying that a "non-zero risk" is somehow meaningful to a young person.
