I think you are over analysing it somewhat. I was not making a profound and precise point, rather that people below 50 are getting ill and some seriously ill and even dying from the virus. The impression given to date has impled, imo, that only the ancient are realistically at risk.
This isn't a dig at Johnson by the way, so no need for auto defence.
The post of yours that I was responding to didn't even mention Johnson so not sure why you think my response was some sort of auto defence
I think most people outside the "Covid is a man made bioweapon" people acknowledge that people under the age of 50 can catch it and catch it bad. I admit that the data is a little bit older now (November) but from the sort of table as per below
(source: https://www.acsh.org/news/2020/11/18/covid-infection-fatality-rates-sex-and-age-15163)
Sure people under the age of 50 can die from Covid, but only 0.168% upon catching it actually dies. On the grand scheme of things you still have pretty good odds of surviving what might still be an unpleasant experience. (of course it sucks if you are one of the 0.168% who dies).
The impression given to date has impled, imo, that only the ancient are realistically at risk.
So at what fatality rate would you put the line between "realistically at risk" and "minimal risk"?
