True. But even excluding those parameters, the average age of the dying is extremely elderly. At least where we are currently.
This site is weird, but I guess is a reflection on society in general. Many people choose to ignore any positive news and just dig in further.

If Louisiana is 36% obese then you would expect at least 36% of the deaths to be obese. Considering it is a crossection.

That's an odd sort of 'positive' take. The elderly and those with preexisting conditions are still people. And, yes, people die everyday. How it impacts the non-elderly/infirm is being overlooked. They still take up hospital beds and ventilators.
Who the virus is killing is a red herring to the real problem of hospital capacity. A closely related concern is the health of the health care professionals themselves. Exposure to large amounts of sick people without the proper protective equipment puts them at risk. And its not easy to replace doctors and nurses on the fly.
