Again, Covid-19 is less deadly than some past seasons for the flu for those under 65 and healthy. You obviously are leaving out the healthy part... You see counselor, the flu, in some season as I specifically referred to, H1N1 and 2017-2018, young and healthy were dying with no underlying conditions at a rate much higher than other flu seasons and currently with Covid-19.

So let's go back to the math, 90% of deaths in NY had underlying conditions. Therefore for healthy and under 65, take your deaths times .10. 143.14 x .10 = 14.3/300,000 = .000048 or .0048%. Coincidentally, that would also be the mortality rate for those under age 45 WITH underlying conditions...

AGAIN, was H1N1 and the 2017-2018(remember its 4 months, not 2 years) flu more deadly for those under age 65 and healthy than Covid-19?

It's OK, everyone makes mistakes...

You seem not to understand that you have ZERO data for the Flu broken down in that fashion. Where is your chart/article/research that gives the morbidity of the FLU by age group and by lack of any health conditions?

Also, you cannot take 14.3/300,000 because you did not reduce the denominator by the number of unhealthy people vs health people. Much less you are forgetting those numbers were for all citizens, not the infected.
