Ages of the 42 known US dead

[Veritas]

This from ABC News today:

"In the U.S., of the cases for which there is data, only one person who died was in their 40s, while two people died in their 50s. Seven people were in their 60s, nine people in their 70s, 13 people in their 80s and 10 people were in their 90s."

Thus, the average age of the dead is well into their late 70's. But, go ahead and panic if you want at any age.

Veritas says “F the elderly! I’ve got my life to live!”

The more people ignore it and move around, the more grandparents you kill. Guaranteed

I think Veritas is elderly, is he not? Didn’t we go through this in the standing and drinking at gopher games?

Too old to stand?

Who said anything of the sort in regards to anything you posted above? You just seem to be fixated on being a Drama Boy all the time.

The largest group of infections are those in their 20s-40s. Who do you think those 70+ are getting it from? This needs to be taken seriously by ALL age groups.

Those who are panicking are dumb. BUT widespread isolation and closures/cancellations is the correct course of action for two reasons:

1) Limiting spread to those who are at high risk of serious complications (i.e. older individuals and those with serious health conditions)
2) Slowing the rate of infection so that our healthcare system does not get swamped.

Ditch her!

Ditch everyone.

Who is disagreeing with you? And do you really believe these 70, 80 and 90 year olds are out there shopping at Nike, etc.? Really? I have not been to a store, restaurant or sporting event in three weeks. No visitors, no deliveries, etc. No nursing home near here has been allowing visitors for a week now. 90% of people should just get on with their lives and avoid the very old and very weak. Follow the instructions laid out and get back to work and do the jobs you are being paid to do. This disease is no more likely to kill you than is the common flu.

And yet your president has declared a national emergency. Is he just too stupid to follow your advice, or what's the deal?

That is a 100% bull$hit lie fed to you by President Dunce....who's been lying about the disease for the past month.

Oh, and while we're at it, report out of the Netherlands is that 50% of COVID-19 patients in the ICU are under age 50.

Young people are FAR from safe with this.

Prove it. Until then, STFU!

So the people who have died or been hospitalized who aren't 70+, just eff them too, huh?

Who said that? How does the factual information in the original post offend you? Those were the facts this a.m. Just a pile of facts.

I keep forgetting that all facts and opinions must be pre approved by you. Otherwise, you will be offended and enraged.

Who said young people "safe with this"? I said this virus has no more fatalities for its size within that group than they would have with common flu. But, as I said earlier, go ahead and panic if you wish.

 

[Veritas]

Look at all the Dems posting like crazy because an ABC article dares to run contrary to their narrative that this virus is the end of the world and only one man is responsible for everyone's death coming before the end of the year unless everyone votes DFL. Arn't they precious?!

Influenza is a known entity. We deal with it every year and can generally predict how it's going to go.

COVID-19 is novel. There is not existing immunity in the population for it. The danger is the unknown that we don't know exactly how this is going to go, hence the level of concern. I've spent a decent amount of time studying pathology and epidemiology, even throw in some virology. Have you?

You have a really hard time reading. I literally said, "those who are panicking are dumb." Panicking=dumb. Concern=appropriate. Your initial post was minimizing any concern for everyone under the age of 70, which is tragically dumb in and of itself.

"President Dunce" is doing quite a bit better than a lot than other countries (France, Spain, Italy, Germany):

I see a lot of strong emotional reactions against the facts that have been presented by Veritas. Strange that so many of the leftists here would be science deniers....

You’re always telling people to stfu, you don’t like people speaking freely do you?

His initial post stated facts and that it is not time to panic. He is right. Social distance is fine. Let's go for it. Some of the measures that are happening are over the top. Isolate the elderly, make sure they are kept service, delivered groceries and healthy.

He is for totalitarian government. No doubt. What he is asking for now is what he wants to be normal- government control.

I have also posted facts. Do you choose to dispute them?

Were you this mad at Obama during some of his most signature lies? Did you call it “a 100% bullshit lie” when he said “if you like your health plan you can keep it”? Or “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”?

President Dunce had a lot of time to prepare and failed. And then spread misinformation about the failure. No facts. Just lies.

Much more truthful than 100% bull$hit. Most people kept their health plan. On the other hand....Trump has repeatedly told nothing but lies for weeks now. Fail.

Please link this information. Info I have is that all of the people who died in the Netherlands are age 59+

Eight patients deceased, 176 new patients, a total of 1135 persons tested positive
In the last 24 hours, 176 more people have tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. This brings the total number of positive tested people to 1135.

Since yesterday, eight patients have died of COVID-19 in the age of 59 to 94 years. Most of them are older than 70 years and had underlying health conditions. The number of fatalities in the Netherlands is now 20.

There were 162 patients have admitted to a hospital.
