Thanks for clarifying instead of downvoting. There's a lot of confusion about these numbers and it seems asking a question about them here is being taken as inherent criticism.

For HN that usually gets you upvotes. But apparently the virus is heavily politicised, particularly in America from what I can tell. So the result now is a thread full of dead/buried comments.

Thanks again.




No problem. I think a lot of people respond very strongly to the "mortality on young people is only 1%" data, because it can be taken as a reason not to take the virus serious.
