Those aren’t my stats. Those are the stats. There may be more cases but there are also more deaths that are not classified that should be.
Young people getting it is far worse. Old people get sick and have to go on ventilator. Young people fight through it an spread it to more people. Their multiplier is much higher. Lot of them don’t give a fuck who they get sick.

Young people getting it is not worse. A LOT of young people probably already have it or had it and didn't even realize it. An old person getting it is more complicated because their lungs and overall physical condition might not be what it used to be.
Granted, young people should try their best to prevent spread, but at the same, it's unrealistic to shove them into the same precautionary category as those who are at higher risk.
What I'm curious is, why haven't the media reported on preventative measures such as exercising more regularly (seriously, you can work out at home with Youtube and it costs nothing minus the internet), eating healthy and taking important supplements like vitamins?
It is a known fact that sunlight is actually beneficial in not only killing the virus but, in general, your health. Where is the media telling you to go out and walk for an hour a day? That goes a long way in health.
Instead, the media is pushing lockdown.
They're not pushing getting healthier as a measure in combatting covid.. but lockdown.
