You are making a claim about comparing the risk of mortality for a certain age bracket. THAT is what is not backed up.

It's not that hard...
Current #s
1,022,000 confirmed cases
57,000 deaths
90% with underlying conditions per my CDC link
5700 healthy deaths
Now lets assume they are all under 65...
5700/1,022,000=.0055 or .5%
This would be the actual current CFR. We know from several antibody test, including NYC, that the denominator is at least 9 times higher than confirmed cases at 2.7 million...
5700/9,000,000=.0006 or .006%
