I guess all they need to do is go out and start committing acts of terrorism in the city of Huntington. That seems to be the cure for corona virus.
You are an idiot. 107,000 dead in four months is not the flu
No, you were wrong when you called herdfan an idiot. (Well, at least on this issue.)
According to the CDC, people age 65 and older make up
over 80% of all Coronavirus deaths in the U.S. In fact, as the graph in the story below shows, deaths from Coronavirus are
almost existent for people under the age of 35. Just the facts....

That same story has another graph that demonstrates that the risk of dying from Coronavirus is EXACTLY the same as the risk of dying from Influenza for a person in the
25-34 year old age bracket. Furthermore, people in the age brackets
under age 25 have a GREATER chance of dying from Influenza than they do of dying from Coronavirus.
Since
90% of college football players fit into the
under 25 age bracket, this means the guy you called an "idiot" was right. College athletes --as an age group-- are more likely to die from Influenza than Coronavirus. So it does not make one an idiot to state that --for this age group-- the death rate for Coronavirus and Influenza victims are relatively equivalent.
Again.....just the facts....
