I have often seen one mistaken word twist the entire message. I can't find a recent reference but I do recall in one of the state PC's, where an official mistakingly used the word "Only" when talking about how it mainly affects the elderly, rather than saying the proper word "Mainly". There is a huge difference and IMO, its mistakes in communication like this that is causing a lot of confusion.
Great article someone shared a little while ago. Glad to see others are starting to really look at and analyze the statistics.
NBC News analyzed media and official reports on more than 150 coronavirus deaths. Here is what we found:
128 of were 65 years or older, eight were under 35.
Doctors who specialize in infectious diseases told NBC News it's too early in the study of the disease to draw conclusive links between gender or any particular pre-existing health conditions and the risk of death. Instead, much like with the flu and other common illnesses, each individual's overall health appears to matter more.
Death from the coronavirus is caused by respiratory failure brought on by pneumonia, said Dr. Kathryn Stephenson, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School. Whether patients survive a severe illness comes down to their ability to withstand the symptoms.
