In the US there have been 439 Covid deaths recorded between ages 15-24, and 67,305 Covid deaths between 75–84.

Tell me again age doesn't matter. Of course 'all lives matter.' Who has said otherwise? That doesn't change the fact that age is a significant factor in mortality.

Don't give me stats that help your statement, I want world wide stats!

You remind me of Trump, picking stats that favor what you happen to be saying at the time.

Again ALL LIVES MATTER!!!!

You don't think, globally, that the virus has caused more deaths in the elderly?

Again, who has said all lives don't matter? I have stated clearly that 'anyone' can catch the virus and die as a result. For you to disqualify age as a significant factor in mortality however merely highlights you know pretty much nothing about anything.

Why is the vaccine being rolled out according to age if age doesn't matter?

@very-rusty said
The elderly are in senior complexes as a rule and it goes right through there because of being over crowded as I've said. That is why they are doing the elderly first goad.

If Trump had moved quicker on the virus instead of passing it off as just a flue that would be gone in a few months we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now. He is a big part of the blame for the vir ...[text shortened]... s given the vaccine which is what I believe will end up being done. No matter what their age!

I'll try spoon-feeding you. When it comes to Covid, the elderly are more vulnerable and less likely to recover. This is evidenced in any stats you care to pull up.

Of course age matters. Nobody should be complacent and nobody should think themselves beyond risk, but we need to be most mindful of the elderly and those with underlying health conditions as they are 'f ...[text shortened]... eople equally and that the elderly are especially susceptible and need greater protection/shielding.

@very-rusty said
goad if you don't protect the Doctors and Nurses first then there is no one left to protect. Get it?

Don't even try to pretend to be teaching me anything about Covid-19, I probably know as much or more than you do about it!

@ghost-of-a-duke said
Your ignorance on this topic is truly outstanding.

No joke.

(And of course we need to protect doctors and nurses. Who has said otherwise? )

@very-rusty said
You never mentioned about giving the Doctors and Nurses the vaccine first, the elderly were first on your list of importance. Who is going to give it to them if there are no Doctors and Nurses to give it to them.

No joke, you are the one being ignorant or just trying to win an argument you've already lost!

Of course front-line staff need to be vaccinated. Why does that even need to be discussed? It's a no brainer. That has nothing to do with the elderly being more vulnerable to Covid than younger people.

Look at you trying to dodge your earlier assertion that age doesn't matter. Ouch!

@very-rusty said
I said age didn't matter when it came to getting the virus!

@handyandy said
Not true! Studies indicate that people aged 30 to 79 are more susceptible to being infected than those younger or older. Ask your doctor.

Arguing with rusty is like deciding which half of the pantomime horse you're going to make redundant.

Funny..... but on demographic wherever you are it's the rule of law where you are living, Science🤷‍♂️Cure! Great let's have it. Does it come back or am I a ''carrier'?

Can we store it en mass? For everyone... The frontline has to be first, otherwise I'm buying a better Tent & FIshing rod.
