For 15-24 annual deaths by flu are .4 per 100,000. Source: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr68/nvsr68_09-508.pdf page 31

For 18-29 deaths by covid (so far!) are .9 per 100,000. So...with less than half of the year, COVID is already more than twice as deadly for young adults than the flu.

Here's the math if you don't believe me:

CDC estimates about 492 covid deaths between 18-29. Source: https://www.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/index.html#demographics

US population of that age bracket - 54,000,000 or 540 hundred thousands

492 deaths/540 = .9 deaths per one hundred thousand.

This was the closest apples to apples comparison I could find

Keep in mind this is just with five months or so of COVID, so this will certainly get worse once we have a full year's worth of data.

You guys need to stop trivializing the seriousness of COVID. You are part of the problem, not the solution.
