99+% survival rate UNLESS

You're fat (40% of America is considered obese)
You have 2-3 health issues (fat people have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, breathing problems, blood type 10w40)

You're elderly and have health issues (if not then the survival rate is the same as the regular flu if someone elderly catches it)

And before anyone says "But young people die of COVID"...yes, young people die of the flu as well but it's a tiny percentage and that's what researchers call an OUTLIER.

Basically if you're in shitty shape it's going to be hell for you. JUST...LIKE...THE...FLU.

But who are the people with hypertension, obesity, diabetes, elevated lipids, and a bit of extra chunk? They're a huge chunk of the productive and experienced work force, that's who! Probably the majority of the population in Western countries has 2 or more of these risk factors, they're common enough in people aged 30-70, that is, the working adults who keep civilization running, who are raising the next generation, and looking after their aging parents.

Some people have taken the attitude that it's okay if COVID kills off the old and sick, but FYI it also kills plenty of healthy and active adults in the prime of life.

The problem is that you're talking percentages instead of numbers.

99% sounds large, but consider that 1% of 350 million is 3.5 million. That's a lot of people dude, 1% or not.

I'm a Nurse from Germany, working in Covid Test Center at the Moment, most People tested positive have no idea they are Sick or have heavy symptoms. So yeah even the professionals are sceptical at this Point.
