After days of searching the CDC's massive website, I finally found the information that enables the calculation of U.S. COVID-19 death percentages by age group, and those percentages prove that our one-size-fits-all extreme measures are not necessary. Here are the percentages as of this morning, April 7. These percentages are based on the numbers of deaths that have been formally documented with death certificates and received by the CDC.

AGE GROUP---PERCENTAGE OF COVID-19 DEATHS
00-24 --- 0.09%
25-34 --- 0.68%
35-44 --- 2.58%
45-54 --- 5.90%
55-64 --- 11.80%
65-74 --- 23.30%
75-84 --- 28.05%
85+ ---- 27.74%

Notice that 79.1% of U.S. COVID-19 deaths have occurred among people aged 65 and above. Notice that the percentage of total deaths more than doubles at age 65. Conversely, far below 1% of our COVID-19 deaths have occurred among people aged 24 and below. How far below 1%? 0.09% is 11 times lower than 1%, or 11 times lower than 1 out of 100.

Fewer than 4% of our COVID-19 deaths have occurred among people aged 34 and below. Fewer than 9% of our COVID-19 deaths have occurred among people aged 54 and below.
For added perspective, per the CDC data, in the U.S., the number of people killed by pneumonia, as of this morning, is 2.4 times higher than the number of people who have been killed by COVID-19. 27,131 people have died from pneumonia, while 11,008 people have died from COVID-19.

These facts make it all the more apparent that we could achieve herd immunity while keeping the number of deaths to a tolerable minimum with less extreme measures.

 
I'm sure that Trump, Dr. Fauci, Dr Birx, and others like Navarro and many governors are weighing in to allow a restart of the US economy, considering mitigation measures, or not.
Here is where Trump wins (or loses) the election.

The main stat that was out but is now being choked off again is that of the deaths, less than 10% are attributable to Corona only and 90% had prexisting very life threatening conditions that Corona latched onto in the last 1-14 days of their life but Corona gets the tally because That’s The Agenda.

Its not just the deaths, its the very nasty disease and how many get hospitalized. Too many and the hospitals can't handle them.
We need quick tests, a vaccine or a treatment, and then we can get back to near-normal.
 
The fourth paragraph should read as follows:

Fewer than 1% of our COVID-19 deaths have occurred among people aged 34 and below. Fewer than 4% of our COVID-19 deaths have occurred among people aged 44 and below. Fewer than 9% of our COVID-19 deaths have occurred among people aged 54 and below.

It is only April 7th. We are supposed to continue this through April 30th in a time where 3 days already feels like a eon.

By April 30th the models will all be busted and America will know it. The death total will not even come near 80K and in fact will not exceed a bad flu year.

Yes, social distancing had an effect. But Americans will wonder: was it worth a near-depression, or maybe an ACTUAL depression?

The panic-mongers are about to look bad.
 
Draconian social distancing would have an effect in every single contaigent we have ever encountered
Why was this special?
1.Trump
2. Money
3.Obedience
4.China
