The death rate for persons 80+ with corona is over 25%, so you cherry-picking a survivor proves literally nothing.
This was about as dumb and pointless as most of your threads, but I'm impressed that you finally started one that didn't involve insulting Democrats.

Who knew anyone would be upset by this rather than inspired...
Totally unpredictable.
:shrug:
I heard that the death rate was only 15% for those that are over the age of 70?
89 years old.
Suffered a stroke.
Survived the WuFlu.
Washington man, 89, may be oldest American to survive coronavirus
First, the elder Campbell had suffered a stroke. After a 10-day hospital stay, he was transferred to Life Care for physical and occupational therapy, but on March 4, something potentially even more dangerous was spreading through the halls of the nursing home: Coronavirus.
So many miracles among the 99% or more who will survive.
:thumbs:
When U get to 89 years how many years do you figure that U have optimally remaining on this tour of duty?
See now THAT is the problem!

15% is a very high fatality rate for that demographic. It would also mean that a significant number of those over 70 would require hospitalization.
His point seems to be that since most don't die from COVID-19, even if when they are exposed to it, that we are overreacting to it by having mandatory closings of many US businesses - basically, the position of our POTUS. It is not a matter of if we will allow all normal business activity to resume - it is a matter of when (how soon) that will happen.
The largest failure of government (at all levels) is not having the ability to test folks for COVID-19 status therefore they expect everyone with 'non-essential' jobs to act as if they had it but should not seek treatment (or testing) for it. That is simply insane.
"Boomer Removal" they call it....
Tell me how I am wrong!
No it isn't
A lot of that over 70, is just that "Over 70"
Except that the oldest boomer is 75 this year.

How To Get Tested For The Coronavirus In Austin. (Not Just Anyone Can Get Tested.) | KUT
It means that more than 1 in 7 people over 70 contract Covid-19 will die from it.
No nation to date has been able to test all of their citizens for the virus- the logistics of such a feat would make it highly unlikely unless you were a citizen of a tiny nation like the Vatican or something.

Yeah, but then there's the over..... lets say the age of 80 over that over the age of 70
Yeppers!
You don't have to test all your citizens. You just have to be able to have adequate testing in areas with a significant outbreak. That is why South Korea contained Covid-19's spread and was able to keep their economy functioning while we have had to shutdown our economy to contain it.
The story is about an 89 year old, Boomers would all be between ~57 and 75.Does not seem to be a problem by my calculations...
Tell me how I am wrong!
South Korea was able to keep its economy functioning because they had adequate testing.
We have a lot of Americans in their 70s with significant comorbidities. We are not a healthy country. If we get the infection rates they are experiencing in Italy and now much of Europe, due to higher levels of comorbities among our seniors, we could see higher case fatality rates.
