Not wishing to tarnish this comfortable, simplistic world view, but the young & fit are certainly not immune to serious COVID complications, and death.



The silliness of this type of reasoning is that it ignores the inevitable transmission among the young & fit ...... and thence to young & not-so-fit, and to the not so young. The consequence is a new spike in infections, and some weeks' later, in deaths.
