This type of information would be more helpful than a guess at how many might have Covid with the small percentage of people actually tested. I also think we need to test for antibodies randomly like California, to get any accuracy for how many people had it.
I appreciate the data you provide. The first post seemed to minimize the impact of this virus and the what I’m trying to say that a 10 year old faces a very small probability as compared to a 70 year old so just throwing the data together is actually meaningless.

The data is what it is. How you choose to interpret it or what weight to put on it is your call.
Same for me, and I appreciate a voice of reason that gives us the big picture.
