The major concern is NOT that the young who contract it will die. The concern is that millions of young will contract it, fight off their cold after a week or so, and will spread it to elderly family and acquaintances - who WILL be at a much higher risk of dying from it than the less deadly (from a fatality rate standpoint) flu.

Why people can’t figure this out is beyond me. I guess everyone is self-centered and assume just because their personal risk of contracting it and dying from it is low that everything is all good. The idea behind these plans is to SLOW the SPREAD of the virus.

Do we know if it is any more deadly than the flu? By admission, the experts have said there may be many more cases out there that are never diagnosed because the symptoms are similar to the cold/flu. So, the mortality rate is assumed higher because of the much smaller population of documented cases. There must be a whole lot more to this virus than is being shared as the response seems much more hightened than would be expected.
