Most are now aware that COVID-19 is a discriminate killer that heavily favours prey with compromised immune systems, which explains its deadly rampage through long-term care facilities. We know the risk of dying from COVID-19 is not the same for those in their 20s as those in their 80s, but our Government’s drastic COVID-19 responses ignore that reality to craft zero-tolerance, one-size-fits-all policy that applies to every citizen whether needed or not. Why?
The U.S. Center for Disease Control numbers as of August 18, 2020 compare the relative risk of COVID caused Hospitalization and Death by age group, and the risk disparities are enormous.
