Covid Reporting



                                     Covid Reporting

“The young die as well from COVID-19, even as many engage in denial” (USA Nov. 28).

But the number of Covid deaths in America of people younger than 40 – 3,571 – is 1.5 percent of all Covid deaths in this country, which is unmentioned.
More than 40 percent of all Covid deaths in the U.S. are of residents of nursing homes. Instead of alerting readers to the fact that 97 percent of Covid deaths are of people 45 and older, the article reveals that 
under-40 Covid deaths “has now surpassed the total death toll from the 9/11 terrorist attacks.” Shocking.
Or, maybe, even Pearl Harbor. And I'll bet a lot more than the kids killed at Columbine. Or Sandy Hook. Even combined probably.
What could be worse?
