I get my news from trusted sources like my Conservative Facebook friends......
With the alleged “second wave” of the virus spread comes the second wave of hype. In Iowa, the numbers are still next to nothing.
There have been 19 deaths of people between 18-40. That’s a .0006% death rate.
There have been 77 deaths between 41-60. That’s a .003 death rate.
There have been 305 deaths between 61-80. That’s a .02 death rate.
There have been 354 deaths over 80. That’s a .02 death rate.
There have only been 50 people confirmed to have died without preexisting conditions. That’s a .001 chance of dying of the virus.
Looking at the graph, it’s clear the death rate has been declining.
So you are more likely to die of a heart attack or a stroke worrying about dying of Covid 19, than dying of Covid 19. Shut off your TV and relax. Something is going to kill you, but it’s extremely unlikely it will be this virus.
