I have remarked upon your numbers in another comment. Why do your own math based on outdated newspaper articles and statistics websites when there are scientific publications and FDA documents to draw upon? Calculating the crude chance of death based on population averages is misleading, because those will have risk groups massively over-represented.

The CDC figure for number of COVID-19 deaths among 18-29 year olds is 2,761. https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-by-Sex-and-Age/9bhg-hcku/data https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-by-Sex... So, guess what, those “newspaper articles and statistics websites” have the same general numbers as more official sources like the FDA; indeed, the CDC’s own numbers are higher than the number I used for COVID-19 deaths among young adults. (And, oh, if you think the CDC’s figures are faulty, I have nothing more to say to you; you’re not looking too good after insinuating that https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.07.23.21260998 https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.07.23.21260998 didn’t attempt to measure total COVID-19 infections, when, in fact, a cursory reading of the paper shows they did) With something as fast moving as COVID-19, the press often times gets accurate figures before they’re formally published. If you want to convince me the numbers I used are wrong, please give me up to date numbers from reliable sources which contradict my figures. Not estimates from a paper written a few months ago. Finally, I need to flat out ask you: Have you gotten the COVID-19 vaccine yet? I got mine months ago. I will not respond to you again until I know your vaccination status.
