That 2.7% of cases in the US end in death and only 6% of those are healthy/young people with no co-morbidities. Rounding 2.7 to 3 that leaves a .18% chance of death for the young and/or healthy.
That's not how the math works, but at least you are trying.

Young healthy people have a waaaay lower chance of dying than 0.18%.

Different countries test different amounts of people, test them in different ways, have different levels of hospital care, etc.
It's also incredibly foolish to try to compare a bacterial infection that affects young people and requires treatment to resolve to a virus that has almost no effect on young people and will resolve on its own.

I am going to leave this here for you guys, I went and got it because as they say it’s low risk and high reward. MMR Vaccine Could Protect Against the Worst Symptoms of COVID-19

Saw this too. Interesting stuff.

And guys, I know it's been said many effing times, the mask is not to protect you. It's not going to protect you from getting the virus. It's to keep people from spreading large droplets and contain some of the nastiness. I don't think anyone has said that you wear a mask, you're totally protected unless it's a mask that filters viruses.

Doctors wear masks to protect the patient, not themselves. Why is this so freakin' hard for y'all to understand?

"While the impact of flu varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year. CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010."
So once Covid is (only:dunno:) this deadly we're good? Or will goal posts move? How many lives could masks save if we all wore them for flu season???? :rolleyes:

Ollie, yes, that (1st bolded) very thing has been said and it (2nd bolded) isn't hard to understand, at all.

But, the "science" has vacillated on this issue since February and media have purported to distribute the "truth" about this issue since it started when in fact they've only distributed lies to promote their political agenda by instilling fear in order to ruin Trump's economy so he would lose in November.
[edit: BTW, for all of us Biden supporters, please vote November 4th. It's important!]

So don't blame the message receivers, blame the message creators for the confusion.
(edit: and don't even get me started on "infer" versus "imply")

It's a fact that "scientists" said "do not wear a mask", "masks do not help" - both Fauci and the Surgeon General said it. They are both considered "experts". Then they changed their tune, moved the goal posts, got woke. Much like the climate change "experts" - always moving the goal posts. Now we're stuck with the magic Democrat cloth for the unforeseen future.

Peeps here be throwing numbers around and arguing that their numbers are good while yours are bad about a thing that nobody can really get good numbers on to begin with. Its a scam because they are taking a small truth to tell big lies.

You don't believe we know how to count the total number of people that died?
