The most important thing to know about COVID is that the risk of death is extremely age-stratified:

0-19 years: 0.003%
20-49 years: 0.02%
50-69 years: 0.5%
70+ years: 5.4%

The risk to people under the age of 20 is >1000 times lower than the risk to those over 70
2/ This information should be disseminated everywhere, but instead we hear that everyone can die of COVID, so everyone should avoid getting it. Yes, everyone can die of COVID, but if you're young, that's like saying you could die on your way to the grocery store.
3/ Those deaths happen, but they're rare enough that we don't let it affect our decisions about carrying on with life.

This failure of messaging has led to the acceptance of policies that were explicitly not recommended pre-COVID:

I want to take a few minutes to take down a garbage article in the Palm Beach Post about @GovRonDeSantis. I'm doing this mainly to give you tools for analyzing similar articles.

1/15

gainesville.com/story/news/202…
The main point in the headline is that "criticism mounts." So the PBP and their like-minded newspapers are all reporting about each others' critical stories to build a narrative that DeSantis is a terrible governor.

2/15 Image
This article only showed that death reporting changed after the @HealthyFla announcement on October 21 that they would be instituting additional review on deaths. They produced no evidence that it was related to the election or that it was directed by DeSantis.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and @SunetraGupta argue today in WSJ that vaccines should end all lockdown measures by the end of January.

1/7

wsj.com/articles/how-t…
Because of the age stratification of COVID risk, they argue that those at risk should receive the first vaccines, and once that's done, everything should be open. They further argue that lockdowns are more deadly than COVID to younger people.

"Thanks to Operation Warp Speed, Americans will have enough doses to inoculate 20 million people in December and 30 million more in January... Some 50 million people in the U.S. are over 65."
