I wanted to respond to your post but didn't want to repeat the whole report. I will not disagree with the report although I have not looked at the numbers in any detail. I will not deny that people are being infected by a virus called Covid. However, if you look at the Ontario website with the number of cases, resolved, died, etc. what the numbers show is younger people can and do catch covid, however, it also shows that people under 20 have a recovery rate of 99.99%, actually if I remember correctly from looking at the numbers earlier today people under 50 have a 99.9% recovery rate (I did combine those they show as recovered and those still unresolved). These numbers are cumulative from January 15th 2020 until now so many of these cases were before the vaccine came out. Now where the real problem occurs is in people over 70. This group of people accounts for over 80% of the deaths from Covid. Also note in about a year and a half, less than 4% off the population of Ontario has been diagnosed with Covid, 549k in a population of around 14.8M (something like that). Back in the spring of 2020 there was a projection put out by Ontario Health that said within a year over 100k people in Ontario were going to die of Covid if nothing was done. Their projections were off because they were using a flawed assumption, the assumption they made was that the deaths they were seeing in the older population was going to be similar across all age groups and this turned out not to be accurate.
I do have questions about the whole situation, if the majority of people who are dying are over 70, how many would have died of other causes? Catching pneumonia for example. I know it may come across as sounding cruel or insensitive, but I am just trying to take the emotion out of the discussion and looking at the cold hard facts as presented by the government of Ontario. Also, looking at the other end of the spectrum, there is a 0.01% death rate for those under 20, is there anything in common with those who died? Did they have preexisting lung conditions, heart conditions, etc? I would think answering some of these questions would actually identify the high risk people as opposed to just saying everyone when the numbers just do not back up the statement. By identifying these groups perhaps they could actually come up with a strategy to protect them as opposed to a hope and a prayer.
