When I hear news stories about "x more Corona deaths" they often say "all were 60 or older."

It sounds like an age bracket.

If four people died who were aged 79,81,84 and 85, the above statement would be true but some what misleading.

It would be interesting to know the actual age of the deceased and their underlying conditions.

It seems that we have lost some who were not old.

While some of those younger people who died from the virus may have had underlying conditions, I believe some did not.

I hope that we can learn how a young, healthy person can be killed from this.

We also have much to learn from studying how some people can just shake it off and even a few older people can survive its ravages.
