Do you suppose that a pharmacist going out of his way to not answer a yes or no question ruins peoples perceptions to this? It definitely makes it seem like you have an agenda. I’m simply pointing out that the flu is more deadly than the coronavirus for anyone younger than 24. I pointed to data from the CDC to support this theory. Why are you so against answering this yes or no question?

If you are going to respond to my posts, at least read the goddamn things.
You claimed that the reason why people believed this is no worse than the flu is because rates of flu deaths are higher for younger people. Well people were saying it was no worse than the flu before that information could be inferred or known at all. Given that, and the fact that this has always shown a much higher fatality rate than the flu overall, your claim has very little merit, because it relies on an assumption that people who continue to espouse that this is less deadly than the flu (which is wrong by an order of magnitude) are somehow able to get that wrong while simultaneously parsing demographic data that was largely incomplete for weeks.
