Some quotes around 13:30-16:00

“Risk of dying from C19 right now is .00000012 for a given individual.”

“The H1N1 primarily killed 40-60-year-olds. That was the risk group: 40-60. Again, no one knows that; it killed 500,000 people and infected 1 billion, 1 billion, with a ‘b’!”

“People are confusing individual risk with systematic risk”.

Just being age 20 or 5 doesn’t make you immune magically. There is no more need to panic if someone healthy age 15 dies from C19 anymore than if a healthy individual dies from a heart attack or stroke. Extremely rare, we don’t know why these things happen, but they very rarely do.

The virus is not “attacking 30 year olds now”. It’s statistically “attacks” (detrimentally effects would be a less fear mongering word) older folks, and yes no age or health is 100% safe.

We are humans, we are mortal, things kill us, we aren’t guaranteed a certain age.

The panic is beyond ridiculous.
What do Dr Phil and Dr Oz have to say about this? Is there also a berry I can eat to kill the virus?

thx in advance
