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.

The data and the chart that I posted is from a lancet article estimating case fatality rate. It is the research that prompted the news article that you posted earlier.
I'm still not real clear on what you are saying. If you would be willing to post the original data that prompted your statement of the case fatality rate under age 50, that would be helpful for me.
I was under the assumption that it was the same data that I was referring to.
