Not true, in fact no one is going to hospitals voluntarily anymore. Also, who is being denied care?

I’m assuming the statistics for the under 25 age group are negligible? It’s hard to tell because the article jumps straight to racial/ethnic data and personal anecdotal stories intended to scare its readers. It never mentions what percentage of deaths are people 65 and older or those under 25. I’m assuming 65 or older is close to 50-55%? Who knows, I guess we just have to guess.

The most important missing information is what percentage of the total population each age group makes up. Without this, even the scant figures they give are meaningless. Nevada is not a retirement hotspot, so it looks like roughly 11% of people in Nevada are 65 or older and they make up roughly half of all COVID deaths. I’d say that’s some relevant data that was conveniently omitted.

The article fails to mention obesity as a factor. Almost all of those who’ve had issues with COVID that are under the age of 50 seem to be obese. I guess we’ll just ignore that. Keep in mind these numbers are just for Nevada.
In Mohave county AZ near Vegas, a few weeks ago our totals were 2 of 678 Covid 19 deaths so far in the vaccinated.

78% overweight or obese, according to the CDC.

Elderly and obesity are the key factors. Younger people dying are overwhelmingly obese. Vaccination status is a huge factor now though as well.

How much does the fact that such a large percentage of older people did get vaccinated play into this. I think it was around 80% over 70. So of course fewer would be getting seriously ill or dying.

People go to the hospital all the time. I had to go to the ER recently, broken toe-pointing the wrong direction, and there were a lot of people there. I also went for an ultra sound, again the hospital was normal like precovid.
