Depends on how you define "primarily". Elderly and immunocompromised have always been at a much higher risk, but there were still thousands of young, healthy people who died in the pre-vaccine days.
- kurupt213 4y agoThis isn’t true.
- kennywinker 4y agoIt, in fact, is true.
- netmonk 4y agoMay be your definition of “healthy” might be reviewed. Most <40yo dying were morbid obese. Not healthy.
- kennywinker 4y agoNo professional or statistician would describe someone who is “morbidly obese” as not having underlying conditions
- origin_path 4y agoThousands globally? Maybe. If you look at places that didn't overreact like Sweden then there's no excess death under 75, so young people weren't dying regardless of health. In other parts of Europe there was no excess death under 45 but many countries over-reacted especially at the start with ventilator abuse, so that would have hurt the numbers.
