You replied: That *IS* a cross section of the US population!!
So, show me where the average American has 2.4 of those health issues.
You can’t. And my statement remains the same. Covid deaths are predominantly among people who are overweight and in poor health. That is statistically true.

It is. And it is probably the ONLY statistic in this whole mess that is for the most part unchangeable.
...Which points out the problem with this entire "discussion". It has degenerated over time to, at best, dueling statistics. At worst, it is people basically choosing up sides and cherry-picking statistics that support their beliefs while ignoring those numbers which do not. It has been evident for some time now that the number of people looking not for information but for VALIDATION is the problem with this whole COVID "discussion".
I choose not to see it by numbers. Instead I see it in terms of our basic freedoms as Americans. The numbers mean nothing to me.
