The total CFR of all ages was 1.38 percent, compare that to .16 percent for the " bad flu"

Again, I am not stating these numbers as FACTS (although I feel they will end up being accurate enough) I stated that it was
reported. The report was based on estimates of total infections. I think the chart you posted is based on known or confirmed cases, that is totally different.
Yes you are correct that the comparison is between one demographic for Covid(under 50 or under 60 if you want) and all ages for the flu. BUT the post was in regards to easing restrictions for THAT demo and keeping isolation in place for the older demo and those who are younger and are vulnerable. The context of the post matters quite a bit here.
I'm pretty sure you are attempting to read into my posts things I didn't say or intend. I was pretty specific with my wording to try to avoid that.
