The following debate originally took place upon my Facebook wall…
Rayn:
Kevin B.: Deaths lag cases by weeks. Thousands of Americans died this week.
Rayn: Kevin, COVID is even less deadly than seasonal flu, you fear-mongering, panic-porn star! Is the sky falling, too, Chicken Little? The CDC posted the most recently updated estimated infection fatality rates for COVID on their website. Here are the updated survival rates by age group:
Scenario 1-2:
0-19 years: 0.00002
20-49 years: 0.00007
50-69 years: 0.0025
70+ years: 0.028
Scenario 3-4:
0-19 years: 0.0001
20-49 years: 0.0003
50-69 years: 0.010
70+ years: 0.093
Scenario 5:
0-19 years: 0.00003
20-49 years: 0.0002
50-69 years: 0.005
70+ years: 0.054

Rayn: You’re just a fear-mongering, panic-porn-producing slob, Kevin. Your posts are like crudely-scrawled graffiti to my wall. Take your war-criminal-supporting, civilian-bombing-supporting, drug-war-supporting, imperialist-supporting, 1%-supporting hypocritical doublethink, elsewhere. Life is only precious for you when it’s convenient and politically expedient. Go vote harder for more murderous scumbag politicians, you arrogant, self-centered poser!
