Thank you for sharing, Dan.

I'm sure most of you already are aware but apparently some are still not so ill reiterate. According to CDC statistics, the death rate for people over 65 years old resulting from the flu is approximately .83% (slightly less than 1 in a hundred) . That rate drops drastically for people under 65 to average out to roughly .025 percent (1 in 4,000).

In comparison, the death rate for covid-19 aka the coronavirus is approximately 3.6% (1 in 30) for those in their 60's, approximately 8% (1 in 12) for those in their 70's, and approximately 14.8% (1 in 7) for those above 80. These numbers drop to .2% to 1.3% for those under 60 with the youthful on the lower side.

Don't rely on any politician, regardless of party, for your health guidance. This is not a fabrication. I have an immediate family member currently caring for a hospitalized coronavirus patient. Take this seriously because even if you fall in the group that is likely to easily recover, you have the ability to pass it to others before even showing symptoms.
