Nobody knows anybody. I am not downplaying the issue in any way. Sure, a couple people have died. Overweight, smokers, with diabetes seems common. But no ramrod healthy individuals. None. I'm sure there are some, but they seems to be so incredibly rare that nobody knows any.
But when you take in comorbidity and other factors?

I got the 1 out of 3 people from reading the NY Times. And they were talking about nationally. I assume (?) that they took a survey. The same article showed a graph of the 19% of new cases caused by the British variant. I consider the NY times to be a good source. Many in TV Land believe otherwise. I also believe that the US has had over 500,000 deaths DUE to CV - not something like that I have read on this forum - like someone died because they were pushed by the tooth fairy off of a cliff, but it statistically became a CV death because those big, bad, greedy Hospital Administrators corrupted the statistics to get more money. That is the BS, the fairy dust. I also believe what I see and hear on CNN and MSNBC. So, if some don't like that - then so sad, too bad, go pound salt (whatever that means?).
