But evidence also shows that COVID-19 is more fatal across all age groups than seasonal influenza, with death rates six to 10 times higher for those under 50. Moreover, death isn’t the only danger, and severe cases of COVID-19 are more common among young adults than you might think.
A study published February 28 in the New England Journal of Medicine, for example, examined the age breakdown for 1,099 coronavirus patients. The majority of non-severe cases—60 percent—are teens and adults between 15 to 49 years old, which might suggest this group is spared the worst of the virus.
In truth, severe cases were slightly more abundant among this younger demographic. Of the 163 severe cases reported in the study, 41 percent were young adults, 31 percent were aged 50 to 64, and 27 percent were above 65. The only age group spared by severe COVID-19 appeared to be kids under 14.

Millennials and Gen Z are also just as likely to catch the coronavirus as older groups, according to the largest profile to date on COVID-19, a clinical report of more than 72,000 patients published February 21 by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. So rather than rely on age to gauge who is most threatened by COVID-19, doctors say you may want to look at common underlying conditions and how they correspond with the death rates reported by the Chinese CDC. Doing so can offer clues on how to protect you and your loved ones.

It is evident that there is something way more cynical than just the corona virus at play here. Governments are using excessive means over this virus, and people are just playing right into it because of panic and fear.

And yeah, we have all been warned by the Word of God so it is what it is now. I'm just waiting on them to declare Martial Law, shut down the Churches and let the anti christ or whoever fix this thing. If not now, it will happen because it looks like a lot of folks are going to be easily tricked into following the anti christ's lead. Most of the world is already locked up at home just begging for the Government to save them from a virus...can't even imagine what's going to happen when the real Stuff hits the fan.

We have disagreed many times in the past for sure, but I do agree with this.......this is leading to a cashless society and set the stage for the end......we are close for sure.....

hmm I found this interesting forget the virus, though I found the U.S. isn't not the leading gun related nation as I once heard on the news I think or maybe at some time or another it was.

Yes well, interesting to see that the US is mostly being beat by their southern neighbours :LOL:

Take it with a huge grain of salt...a study not based on random selection is inherently biased and not representative of the bigger picture.

Yes and that rate of infected with mild to no symptoms is growing faster than the death of the total infected.

another reason why this is a little different is the lack or little symptoms of 80% of the infected.

in flu outbreaks there is a much smaller window of people who don't know they have the flu or with little symptoms. I have not experienced anyone in my life who didn't know they had the flu not saying there are not people who get the flu and don't know it, so that in its self is boggling to the medical fields. Because of that unless it's mandontary for all citizens to be tested the numbers can't be truly known.

If someone has a headache are they going to go get tested for the corona I'd say it's unlikely yet the could have the virus with a the symptom of a headache
Once again we are talking about two different things.
Whoever you are and whatever your age ....my advice stay home.

In Canada the dentist called me to cancel an appointment... they had to by government rules... Canada will halt the spread of this virus ... not so sure about the USA... beings such a big country ... so much to manage.

A little frightening really.

I see no reason to fear...... God is NOT mad at us, He wants to save us..... this is evident because He sent His Son, Yeshua/Jesus to save us. Just get saved and enjoy God's love for you! :love:

God loves us and nothing can separate us from His love. It's time to snuggle in close and abide under His Shadow.

Not laughing in the sense of laughing.......but you know what I mean....and a week ago I inventoried my TP stock....316 rolls......HAHAHAHHAHAHA
God knows we need toilet paper and He'll make dc share! lol! :giggle:

Seriously, no need to fear. You are loved. Be ruled by the Spirit, not the flesh. The flesh will lead you down dark paths full of fear. Know you are loved, dwell in His peaceful love for you. :love:(y)

well being Canadian myself, I took it into my own hands :LOL:

since every state here is like a mini country in and of itself (at least that is my impression), there is no conformity as we might expect north of the border

it's not just the size of the country here....a friend said they have never seen such a bunch of power hungry people

I really do not like most of the news down here..for example, a supposedly conservative channel like FOX will focus on one thing and ride it to death while the rest of the world flies by....and things that were actually newsworthy, drop off the channel's interest when something new comes along

no further news about Australia fires, none about flooding in the mid western states, no more about the massive tornadoe that whipped through Nashville and so on

it's coronovirus 24/7 and it's ridiculous

but FOX has changed and is changing and not for the better

For sure agree, there is only so much that can be said on one topic... gets to be repetitive and only strengthens people's fears, maybe part of the plan ... I don't not know?

sensationalism

I actually remember going back some years now...when I hardly watched any TV at all and no news

I noticed a distinct change in the way the news was delivered (I was still in Canada) from reporting the facts to 'hang on...let me get my crystal ball out' and questions turned into 'what do you think', when I began watching again

it was really noticeable having not been watching for quite some time

my opinion, is that many people cannot wade through all the conflicting reports, deliberate false content and varied and contradicting doctors statements, let alone the 'official' statements from the White house and reach a conclusion that is reasonable and represents someone who is able to be secure within their own sphere

so we have tp disappearing from the shelves faster than the bunny down the dodgy hole in Alice's world and actual physical confrontations

it's a me first world and we could all benefit from less info that we need to put together like some puzzle bought from Amazon on a bad day

fear, IMO, is always a factor when the 'unknown' is presented

people just don't have anchors or something bigger than hollywood to believe in when they really need more to secure their trust and the responsible actions that should go along with that

the numbers are kind of misleading though, United States is ranked 20th per 100,000 citizen yet ranked near the top on total, which i still don’t quite get.

Whoever you are and whatever your age ....my advice stay home.
I’m in America 51, there’s more important things happening that might keep me home and not a threat of getting a virus. I think the stay home agenda is the world saying it, I’m trying not the follow what the world says but it might come down to being arrested who knows but until then I’m going to live my life and not in fear or worry or concern.
