When we first started getting more information on the virus (how it was only really a threat for the elderly and immunocompromised) my first thought was ok lets just protect them. 6 months later we are still no closer to fixing this damn thing and people are wildly unknowledgeable about what the virus does and who it harms. Seriously at the first task force briefing Birx was talking about how we have to protect old people and AIDS patients but today children aren't in schools, offices aren't open, and the country is tearing itself apart. The media still won't hold politicians who intentionally exposed the most vulnerable population to the virus and killed them in droves accountable. We haven't stopped the spread and have introduced health measures that are utterly useless and modeled after the country that let this spread in the first place.
95% of deaths are 50+ y/o.
And 80% of deaths are 65+ y/o.
So if you're younger than 65 y/o, or especially 50, the odds of dying from coronavirus looks a lot different. Especially since only 15% of the coronavirus cases are people over 65 y/o, but they still make up 80% of the deaths.
I really wonder how people who only watch/read MSM would react to these numbers. Less than 1000 people who are younger than 30 have died with COVID less than 3000 who are younger than 40.
i think one of the more interesting things is the testing data. We are mass testing population groups that face little mortality rate from the virus and doing far less testing on those who are at highest risk. We've administered over 119 million tests nation wide and most of it is being given to people who feel little effect from it at all.

This is pure lunacy. Even the CDC's age demographic chart is enough to drive me crazy
An interesting stat from those charts:
95% of deaths are 50+ y/o. And 80% of deaths are 65+ y/o.
