Of course, we're also forgetting that those younger folks -- who let's face it get out and socialize more -- while perhaps not dying are certainly spreading the virus around. And possibly spreading it to people older than themselves who might not be all that interested in dying.My bad..I did originally misunderstand the article. I have reread the article, this article does not provide an infection fatality rate comparison between the flu and C.O.V.I.D-19. Since more people last year were infected by C.O.V.I.D.-19 than by the flu, a fair comparison of the infection fatality rate can not be determined. We would need to know the number of infections and deaths by influenza last year among persons ages 15 to 24 in order to determine its infection fatality rate in comparison to C.O.V.I.D.-19's estimated 0.006 percent infection fatality rate among persons ages 15 to 24. I can only tell you the information I have for the influenza's infection fatality rate being 0.018 percent among persons ages 18 to 49, which of course, you have rightfully objected to as possibly skewing the numbers higher than what the influenza infection fatality rate might actually be for young adults ages 15 to 24.
And we're only focusing on death, I wonder why. Covid-19 is also leaving a trail of long-term illness behind it. Canada already has a long-haulers support group with nearly 14,000 members!
