Agreed. An obvious example of this is that the CDC numbers on COVID deaths by age. It's blatantly obvious, yet people on here wave their hand and say "1%" as if most HN readers are remotely close to 1% death rate, when it's a community composed of software engineers, a profession that skews young as a whole.

About 35,000 between 40 and 50. 426k of the deaths were age 75 and up. 188k were people between 65 - 74.
