What was the health profile of that 47 year old? Was he obese? Did he have heart disease or lung disease? Was he a smoker or did he have asthma? Did he have diabetes? If you are 47 and you have one of these other risk factors, then your odds of dying goes up dramatically. This is the problem with these news articles. They will tell you the age as if that proves their point that everyone needs to be quarantined. But the data tells a different story. 94% of cases have at least one risk factor of the following: age 65+, heart disease, lung disease, or immune-compromised. That's the fact. It is what it is. It turns out that America has 2 out of 3 people who are obese. The median age of our population is also pretty old. That is one of the reasons why we have the world's highest death rates from this virus. It's sad, but true.
