They need to release the number of people that are not "old"
but have compromised systems that have died. The emphasis on it is "only" old people that are in danger is dangerous.

There are millions of people that fit into the criteria but are not old.

3. There was a 30 yr old healthy doctor in NY over the weekend

in critical care. I've seen quite a few of these stories coming out of China, Iran and a couple out of Italy. I think a big part of the issue is when the health care systems become overwhelmed.
The thing is the sourcing should be verified and the media is pushing this elderly pre existing condition narrative as hard as they pushed, but the flu.

4. the older people are always the highest risk with viruses. Reports out of Italy show

healthcare decisions are now are all age base going forward as their system is over match. We will see the same here and every where else as resources are limited and hard decisions must be made. I am 67 and my wife is 69 with health problems so we know what we are facing and accept it is what it is

8. I'm 43 and haven't thought of 60's as elderly seen I was a teenager.

Of course then, 30 was old and 40 close to elderly to me, how things have changed.
