I don't know what to say people who get angry and tell me to site my numbers AND that I'm wrong at the same time.

The data is the data guys. I'm not saying it's end of the world, just that 2% isn't that funny. 2.8 if you need a specific number. About 12% of the population is 65 and older, something like 4% are 80 and older. That's a fuzzy circle around the folks needing to be super careful for the purposes of Covid.. and hips.
