What's interesting is that when you look at the statistics the death rate for those with no comorbidity(pre-existing conditions) is 0.9%, and mainly in the elderly, so the virus may be far less deadly than we thought, and this begs the question how many deaths are actually due to the pre-existing condition and not the virus?

Also, there are many people that survive the virus but do not know they have it(there are many untested) so this figure of 0.9% should be lower. Also most of the working population are not elderly so the death rate would be even lower.

This tells me protect the elderly as much as you can(social distancing), but the chances of younger, healthy and working people dying from Corona is very low.

So this beg another question. Are we overreacting? i.e. Can we get back to work, but with the proviso we maintain strict social distancing measures.

As support to what I am saying have a look at these statistics- PRESS HERE

BTW, as a comparison the Spanish Flu of 1917 did not discriminate killing the young and healthy, and was far more deadly.

Mining, with all due respect this is a load of rubbish, imo.
Take the time to do proper research yourself before making these statements and understand how many younger people are now in ICU as a result of the virus.
Also, how can you possibly compare what is happening now with what happened 100 years ago, don’t you realise that the world has changed?
cheers
