Um, I don't think I said every 16 year old is going to die or quoted in percentages for any age group. An old person with an underlying condition will not necessarily die either. My point that anyone of any age takes a risk when flaunting the guidelines regardless of age or health. Many folks do not even realize they have an underlying condition. The odds are if infected most will beat it although what damage the virus does to the body and what will it entail later in life is still up in the air.
16-year-old boy dies of COVID-19 in Montreal hospital
- Thread starter Charlemagne
- Start date
I stated a 16 year old died and he did from COVID. I stated more younger folks are being hospitalized by the variants and they are. If more are hospitalized the odds are we may start seeing more also passing on, I DID NOT say they are all dying!
Well your post is people will come in this thread to downplay the death of a 16 year old...maybe you're "up-playing" the death of a 16 year old...so far i've known 2 x teenagers died of COVID that includes this kid...they're the ones with minimal risks...
Maybe rephrase it to something more appropriate.
How many 16 year olds have died since the variant appeared? Or how many under 21 have died since the variant?
I'm not up-playing anything, I'm stating a fact which occurred in Montreal and we know how many on this board downplay it COVID, which I'm not accusing you of doing so from past posts. The fact variants are attacking younger people and more are being hospitalized is a warning that should be taken seriously.
In a statement, hospital spokesperson Florence Meney said that generally speaking, "people who die at a young age of COVID-19 are generally people who have major comorbidities."
Seeing as the original version has been around almost a year and a half and the variant has only been in Canada a month or two, the way the question should be worded is very significant.
One can totally discount the first 12-15 months of original covid in relation to young people dying. It is a non-factor. The new variant is what we are currently dealing with.
I never said it shouldnt be taken more seriously, I merely asked if the variant had a higher death rate (compared to standard Covid-19).
He has so far failed to answer the question (in the way of stats)
Which is why I asked if the variant has a higher death rate compared to standard Covid-19
Thanks for pointing out exactly why doctors are worried about the variants.
Young people in Canada weren't dying from the original strain. Now that we've seen a death from a variant, doctors are concerned that it won't be the only one.
Not true, the original strain has killed young people as well.
You are completely clueless!
In the USA " About 500 to 600 adolescents die from cancer each year."Hoax, right? Not actually dead, just a crisis actor...
30 blood clots possibly from AZ after administered to 18 million people, 40% of folks with COVID suffer blood clots. You tell me, should they stop recommending the vaccine, although I suspect I know the answer you are going to throw out.
Thankfully covidiots aren't putting them at increased risk of more deaths or cancer related sufferings, unlike with covid & long covid and its increasingly more deadly variants.
One issue has easy fixes while the other doesn't even with of all the wealth of research put into it.
Brazil variant three times more deadly for 18 to 45-year-olds
The new coronavirus variant sweeping through Brazil, and spreading to other nations around the world, is proving to be up to three times more deadly for young people, according to research.
