But evidence also shows that COVID-19 is more fatal across all age groups than seasonal influenza, with death rates six to 10 times higher for those under 50. Moreover, death isn’t the only danger, and severe cases of COVID-19 are more common among young adults than you might think.
A study published February 28 in the New England Journal of Medicine, for example, examined the age breakdown for 1,099 coronavirus patients. The majority of non-severe cases—60 percent—are teens and adults between 15 to 49 years old, which might suggest this group is spared the worst of the virus.
In truth, severe cases were slightly more abundant among this younger demographic. Of the 163 severe cases reported in the study, 41 percent were young adults, 31 percent were aged 50 to 64, and 27 percent were above 65. The only age group spared by severe COVID-19 appeared to be kids under 14.
Millennials and Gen Z are also just as likely to catch the coronavirus as older groups, according to the largest profile to date on COVID-19, a clinical report of more than 72,000 patients published February 21 by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. So rather than rely on age to gauge who is most threatened by COVID-19, doctors say you may want to look at common underlying conditions and how they correspond with the death rates reported by the Chinese CDC. Doing so can offer clues on how to protect you and your loved ones.

It is evident that there is something way more cynical than just the corona virus at play here. Governments are using excessive means over this virus, and people are just playing right into it because of panic and fear.
And yeah, we have all been warned by the Word of God so it is what it is now. I'm just waiting on them to declare Martial Law, shut down the Churches and let the anti christ or whoever fix this thing. If not now, it will happen because it looks like a lot of folks are going to be easily tricked into following the anti christ's lead. Most of the world is already locked up at home just begging for the Government to save them from a virus...can't even imagine what's going to happen when the real Stuff hits the fan.

I see no reason to fear...... God is NOT mad at us, He wants to save us..... this is evident because He sent His Son, Yeshua/Jesus to save us. Just get saved and enjoy God's love for you! 
God loves us and nothing can separate us from His love. It's time to snuggle in close and abide under His Shadow.
God knows we need toilet paper and He'll make dc share! lol!
Seriously, no need to fear. You are loved. Be ruled by the Spirit, not the flesh. The flesh will lead you down dark paths full of fear. Know you are loved, dwell in His peaceful love for you.

well being Canadian myself, I took it into my own hands
since every state here is like a mini country in and of itself (at least that is my impression), there is no conformity as we might expect north of the border
it's not just the size of the country here....a friend said they have never seen such a bunch of power hungry people
I really do not like most of the news down here..for example, a supposedly conservative channel like FOX will focus on one thing and ride it to death while the rest of the world flies by....and things that were actually newsworthy, drop off the channel's interest when something new comes along
no further news about Australia fires, none about flooding in the mid western states, no more about the massive tornadoe that whipped through Nashville and so on
it's coronovirus 24/7 and it's ridiculous
but FOX has changed and is changing and not for the better

sensationalism
I actually remember going back some years now...when I hardly watched any TV at all and no news
I noticed a distinct change in the way the news was delivered (I was still in Canada) from reporting the facts to 'hang on...let me get my crystal ball out' and questions turned into 'what do you think', when I began watching again
it was really noticeable having not been watching for quite some time
my opinion, is that many people cannot wade through all the conflicting reports, deliberate false content and varied and contradicting doctors statements, let alone the 'official' statements from the White house and reach a conclusion that is reasonable and represents someone who is able to be secure within their own sphere
so we have tp disappearing from the shelves faster than the bunny down the dodgy hole in Alice's world and actual physical confrontations
it's a me first world and we could all benefit from less info that we need to put together like some puzzle bought from Amazon on a bad day
fear, IMO, is always a factor when the 'unknown' is presented
people just don't have anchors or something bigger than hollywood to believe in when they really need more to secure their trust and the responsible actions that should go along with that

I’m in America 51, there’s more important things happening that might keep me home and not a threat of getting a virus. I think the stay home agenda is the world saying it, I’m trying not the follow what the world says but it might come down to being arrested who knows but until then I’m going to live my life and not in fear or worry or concern.
