I would like to see numbers. Where can I find them?
How many ill?
How many mild or moderate vs criticall ill?
How many recent hospitalizations?
How many recovered?
How many recent deaths?
Per state in the US. Updated recently.
Where do I find this information? Link anyone?

I know there is only 1% testing positive in the entire NY State and hospitalizations and deaths are down the most since March.
NY is no longer a hotspot.

Where do I find info on other states?

Where do you live that cars are so fatal? Here the odds of dying in a car crash ever, over your entire life, are something like 0.03% (if you're over age 4). And that's assuming that we're all just as likely to die in a car crash as the idiots who drive drunk.

You just posted a stat with zero context. The 0.8% fatality ra.te for COVID includes those with preexisting conditions. Besides I’m worried about hitting a pedestrian and we have no way of knowing what the risk is in any particular situation.

You can still relax a bit and take recommended safe protocols,

this story while sad does not change anything.

But this out right stupidity , to go attend COVID party.
Most people don’t fall into that category.

Some people on here have sent their kids to COVID parties aka sleepaway camps. IMHO that is worse than the OP’s article where consenting adults made their own choice to attend.

So you can update your title Op I’m sure now you wouldn’t want to mistakenly be fear mongering

I think both cases are foolish, but there are plenty of women on this site who are doing the latter and saying it's not like the former.

Except campers had to test negative before being allowed into camp, while COVID party needed some people to test positive. Small difference there.

Very sad story but I am not sure what is new about it. OP, did you think that only old people and those with pre-existing conditions can die of COVID? Of course cases like this are very rare, but it is definitely not the first case of a young healthy person dying.
