No doubt the virus is real, and very sad there are so many deaths. But if you study the line by line death records that Florida has on the COVID state website, most of the deaths are people in their 70's-90's, and even some 100 year olds.....did they really die of COVID, on ventilators in the hospital, or did they just die of complications that they might have died of anyway at such advanced ages? Did they just die but happen to test positive as well, so get counted as another COVID death?

I did see when looking at the death records today, that in Dade county, where the worst of all virus and deaths are, that out of the last 12 or so deaths, at least half of them were under 40 years old. So perhaps crowded beaches, bars, etc are catching up to the younger group. Palm Beach county is another of the worst ones, but still most of the deaths there are much older people.
