But doctors are reporting that younger people are dying from the virus as well. The situation is fluid and evolving. Meanwhile, you’re approaching the matter like a lawyer for the other side, for the sake of argument, rather than acknowledging that there remain many unknowns that should be addressed cautiously.
Young, healthy people barely sick with covid-19 are dying from strokes

Ok, so where s the data about young people dying ? Several places have reported deaths by age already( sweden, spain, apparently china and nyc as well, probably many more
) those youth deaths should have shown up already. We ve had 200k declared coronavirus deaths , that seems enough to have an idea. You brushing it off as fake data is not very convincing an argument
See my earlier link about doctors being surprised by the number of young people afflicted. It may not yet be of statistically validated to your liking because the numbers have not been crunched yet, but when multiple doctors are alarmed, I sit up and take notice.
It is next to impossible trying to find an exact number of young and "perfectly" healthy people who have died from Covid. Call be skeptical, cynical, whatever, if that number statistically significant it would be all over the news. Best I can find is they consider under fifty as young. According to a couple articles I read, which are now a few days old the number was under a thousand and nowhere can I find an exact number of that group had zero preexisting conditions or any health issues whatsoever. Safe, real safe to say that the only real at risk group are the very elderly over 80, over 65 with health issues, and those younger who have compromised immune systems due to any number of things, obesity, cardiovascular, diabetes, etc. For everyone else this is nothing more than a bad cold and that's if you have any symptoms at all. Most, like nearly 80 percent have no symptoms or symptoms so mild they are dismissed as having a bad hair day. Conclusion by any reasonable person would be there is virtually no risk to young perfectly healthy people. Outliers for the young person who happens die are as meaningless as the old fat guy who survives. No person looking to do an actual threat analysis would even count those at all.
