Beautiful. But misleading.
People of working age have ~zero risk. 96% of deaths in Ontario are over 60 years of age, 87% over 70 years.
No, the risk is on workers' elderly parents.
One way lockdown increases that risk: unemployed people tend to move back in with their parents.

Even comparing a 55 year old (!) to their 85 year old parents, the parents still have a 30x higher fatality rate. That's how lopsided these death rates are.

Indeed, I'd caution people from taking these lopsided death statistics as 100% proven fact: you'd see the same thing from significant numbers of false positives, and/or deaths with COVID rather than from it: the distribution of deaths matches natural mortality very well.
Of course I can assume public health is honest and competent enough to not have _so many_ false cases and deaths that our stats on how deadly it is are wrong... Right?
I can assume that right? Millions of lives and trillions of dollars are at stake...
