Tennessee not only set a record death toll yesterday (93) but just eclipsed 100 deaths from the 0-40 age group. Proving this is not just for the old and unhealthy that everyone could get negative impacts especially with a higher viral-load.

No one has ever said young folks were exempt.

Don't try to spin it.

Not on my watch - a lifetime numbers man....

The numbers say that almost all people (99.7%) who get Covid, and are under 70 years old -- will survive.

It's because TN is a red state and we all know that all 100 of those people who died under 40 were right wingers who got the coronavirus by going outside without a mask.

How do you know those just over 100 weren’t all unhealthy?

They might have all been obese.

True. But for some, the medical bills will be crushing. The two 30 somethings I know who got it in April are still having health issues and the medical bills keep coming: co-pays, deductibles, treatment limits, ambulance services at $3,200 a trip (here they are private and none are in network; there is only one volunteer one).

For those who do die, its going to be interesting to see if any states other than PA enforce "filial responsibility" laws. Thirty states have them; under them, children can be forced to pay their parents medical bills. Some states also have on the books that the parents of adult children can be forced to pay for their adult children's medical bills. This is the VA statute:

Yeah, Covid can really suck if you get it. Tell those people to send their bill to the DNC.

Exactly. Thanks for bringing sanity, reality and reason to the conversation. Something which Leftists have abandoned for Fantasy Land.

Do you honestly think every person that dies is because they weren't wearing a mask? The mask may help to some degree, but it's not the end-all.

Nope. Deaths among 0-40 age group are effectively zero. That fact is clearly shown below. FWIW, the fatality rate only soars over 75 years old.
