If you or one of your loved ones is one of the young, healthy people killed by it, then “what are the numbers” is irrelevant. The numbers are always relevant... If you had a perfectly healthy 25 year old son or daughter and they died an awful death from Covid-19, I doubt very much that the numbers would be “relevant” to you at that point; despite your assertion. If your son or daughter got killed in a car accident, would you wan't cars banned?

BMI is way off. At one point my BMI was 30ish and my percent bodyfat was around 16%.

If you or one of your loved ones is one of the young, healthy people killed by it, then “what are the numbers” is irrelevant. Was this taken from a Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence brochure? The wording is eerily similar. If only one life can be saved, then any measure to do so should be taken. That’s a very far reach; about as far as I’ve seen in a long time. This is a ridiculous statement, it is so broad that it can be applied to anything. Except that it was a response to a ‘specific’ question made by a specific poster. More reaching. Sure, it can be devestating to lose a loved one but there is no guarantee that any one of use will see the next minute let alone tomorrow. That’s likely well known by any adult with adequate cognition. Thanks for pointing out the obvious though. In 33+ years in the EMS field, I've seen more "unfair" deaths than many here and long ago came to the conclusion life ain't fair and death is fickle. Awesome. 33 years myself as an ER nurse, flight nurse, and supervisor in a regional trauma and emergency center.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Severely ill patients' average BMI 30.7 Wow. Average BMI of US adult population hovers just under 30. 30.7 isn’t what many of us think of when we think *fat*. 5’10” and 215 pds is a BMI of 30.8 for reference. I know if I hit 215 I'd be fat. When I hit 190 I'm fat. At 5/10. I prefer 180 and under... 175 is about ideal. At 5'11" I like to be between 170 and 175. I came in at 178 after dinner tonight. I need to pedal more and burn some fat.

About 6ft and 195 soaking wet.
Need to lose 10
Creeping up on 60.
The ol lady is 5' 4" and 62, Used to be 95#
Is 115 now.
Fuggin cow. WTF, weren't you on here last year bitching about your "ol lady" cheating on you and you two were done? I'm pretty sure you posed a pic of her too and she is very pretty. My gf is 61 and 5' 115 lbs and not fat at all, in fact she's pretty hot. Maybe you should be a little nicer to her?

If you had a perfectly healthy 25 year old son or daughter and they died an awful death from Covid-19, I doubt very much that the numbers would be “relevant” to you at that point; despite your assertion. It doesn't matter how relevant the numbers are to me. I'm saying that the numbers matter,and should be paid attention to. Despite everything going on, life must be lived and you have to decide what risks you are/are not willing to take. Its not useful to say "the virus is dangerous to everyone". That may well be true, but its the same as saying "falling down is dangerous to everyone". Young healthy people may be injured from falling down, but is it the same risk as an 80 year old woman with osteoporosis falling down? Clearly not. So, if a ladder must be climbed, who should climb it? Ladders are inherently dangerous, maybe we just shouldn't let anyone use them? After all, if my healthy 25 year old child falls and is killed or paralyzed, the statistics regarding who is most likely to be injured in a fall would be irrelevant to me.
