If it was “not lethal” Why did 36 hundred health workers die in the first year of the pandemic? More than half of whom were younger than 60.

Not only is Covid more serious in the elderly but also in infants of under 6 mos. Covid is or was listed as a leading cause of death among children and young people. https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2023-01-31-covid-19-leading-cause-death-children-and-young-people-us And even when it doesn't cause death it can permanently harm health. My niece in law is under 40 and has a four-year-old child. She spend a month in intensive care last summer, because of an inflammation of the heart due to Covid. Her entire family came to her bedside expecting her to die. Fortunately she recovered. But her health will never be the same. I don't know how you can just write of people over 60 and say "go die". Also there are people with weakened immunity systems due to cancer treatment and other conditions.
