Comment to 'Is Andrew Boon OK?'
  • Glad to hear that you are OK.  Don't believe the horror stories from the US; everything here is political and the election is just making it worst.  The CDC finally admitted that only 6% of the 200000 are deaths from only covid-19; which would be around 12,000 deaths which sounds correct for a virus that is not even as deadly as the seasonal flu.  They even counted suicides as covid-19 deaths; anything to get the numbers up.

    The US has updated the survival rate for each age group for covid-19.

    0-19 99.997%

    20-49 99.98%

    50-69 99.5%

    70+ 94.6%

    The people at risk are those with existing health issues and the very old that already have a failing immune system due to age.

    • I certainly hope it’s not as bad as it is presented. Surely plenty of people are suffering from derivative causes like lockdown related depression, unemployment, broken families, etc. it’s a tragedy whichever way you slice it. More self-induced, but still a tragedy.
