Corona chan almost exclusively kills the 65+ crowd.

Younger adults are not immortal.

The demographics in San Diego are changing right now, with cases moving rapidly from mostly white to mostly hispanic, and from elderly to working-age. There's a lot of inertia in the numbers, so the shift in deaths is slower, but real.

There are factories barely south of the border that are passing the virus around, among young adults, resulting in a lot more serious cases in that age group than was San Diego's prior experience.

My guess is that the problem there is DOSAGE and TIMING. If the space is not cleaned, and if otherwise healthy people ignore their symptoms because they need the work, the exposure to viral particles can get very heavy, very fast. A person who would typically fight off the infection can get overwhelmed by too much exposure. This is the problem hospital workers have. Also, a person who gets sick will start out with something minor, that causes a very sudden crash.

TLDR: Don't be stupid. You still need to protect yourself.

Bruh.... nobodies buying what youre selling. I freaked the fuck out in january I thought we were all dead. I thought we would be looking at millions of deaths right now in america even if we did everything perfectly. This shit is a cold at best. My entire family works in the medical field and it's a fucking joke. We give no fucks now. Take that shit to reddit they'll fear-monger with you.

I assuming this a joke and you are making fun of the absolutely psychotic morons that have been pushing this scam from day one. You know, the same people that currently lose their minds when they see people not wearing a mask. Anyone that actually thought "we were all dead" desperately needs to seek help from a mental health professional.

I love how you're like "Don't be stupid" and get responses that amount to "Nah, we'd rather..."

We all get that the fearmongering/hype over the virus was a bowl of crap, but that doesn't mean don't take basic precautions against being sick. I mean - that didn't used to be controversial. Wash your fucking hands and watch your health if you work in a public space all day. I got taken out for months a couple years ago because I didn't pay attention during flu season.

Anyway - I'm using too many words on people who aren't interested in hearing it. No need to be scared. No need to go way overboard with germophobic paranoia. It's not the fucking zombie apocalypse. Just... Don't be stupid.

Seasonal flus are real, but the hysteria and madness surrounding this one is completely political.
