“And that is assuming those deaths are REALLY CV19 deaths. And they are mostly the elderly, rather than children. That matters.”
They are still dead no matter what age. All Lives Matter
CV19 deaths numbers could be wrong either in the positive or negative numbers. You have a government that can not balance a budget trying to count, what did you expect for accuracy.
I trust the Doctors who are treating infected people before a person in office before DC or someone on the internet. If my local Doctors and Nurses, some who I know, tell me it is bad, I believe them.

Old people are expected to die - of something. Young people are not. That is why it’s sad when grandpa, in the nursing home, dies of cancer, but it’s a tragedy when a 40 year old man with three kids dies of cancer (or a seven year old dies of cancer).
A disease that strikes down the old and infirm is simply not as much of a tragedy as a disease that strikes down the same number of young and healthy.
And I say this as a 66 year old.
