Now the MSM including Elizabeth Warren is stating her brother died of COVID-19.
He was 86.
We totally have empathy with her regarding specifically when she says...
"And now there's no funeral for those of us who loved him to hold each other close,' Warren said.
We truly sympathize with her over that.
But the Reality:
While that may seem concerning, it’s important to note that the vast majority of COVID-19-related mortality is for those individuals with pre-existing conditions and over the age of 70.
Fatality Rate by Age / Comorbidity
At the time of this report, the following fatality rates for respective age groups were found:
80+ years old: 14.80%
70–79 years old: 8.00%
60–69 years old: 3.60%
50–59 years old: 1.30%
40–49 years old: 0.40%
30–39 years old: 0.20%
20–29 years old: 0.20%
10–19 years old: 0.20%
0–9 years old: 0.00%
Now hopefully you will understand that:
"So, unless you happen to be in your golden years with one or more of these pre-existing conditions, you really shouldn’t be stocking up on respirators, gloves, etc… the fact is that this is a highly contagious virus which will likely infect just as many people as the seasonal flu"
