Anyways...we now know that 90% of those who have died have been over 60+ years of age. That is ___not_ to say by any means it is a guaranteed death rate for them either. While the 90% is high, we must remember that just the seasonal flu of 2017-2018 in Italy had a kill rate of 99.7% in the 60+ age group!!!!!!!! Even this 104 year old survived the deadly Covid-19. He probably said, "bring it Covid. That's all you got"? pluralist(DOT)com/bill-lapschies-coronavirus/49999 Kill rate of 99.7% in the 60+ age group??? That cannot be true. So if you are over 60 and get a flu, you basically died? 99.7% is true. It came from the Italian study of seasonal flu deaths. I will try to locate it again. From this study: I kind of mentally blended in my memory 2 statistics. The accurate stat is 96.1%. With the present study we show a remarkable excess death attributable to influenza in Italy during the winter seasons 2014/15 and 2016/17, which was independent from mean weekly extreme temperature variations. Our results show that during these two seasons, in Italy, a high proportion of deaths was observed among the elderly (96.1% and 77.7%, respectively). However, high rates were also observed in children 0–4 years old (1.05 and 1.54/100,000, respectively).
