BUT DID ANYONE DIE?


The question isn’t whether the Cornell kids will die. Most won’t. The question is how many people the Cornell kids will kill. If 500 kids test positive, maybe that means 10 grandparents get COVID, and 1 of them will die. By U.S. standards, that’s bad.


Oh please. These kids don't spend any time with their grandparents. And the infections lasts all of 5 days. It will be fine. Time to move on.


Just invited my parents for dinner with my Cornell kid next week end ..speak for yourself.

No, a fatality rate for around age 80 of 10% is off by two (or more) orders of magnitude, current vaxed IFR >0.1%. Sorry I don't have a cite handy.
