In the past 55 days (MuH vArIaNtS) (I check the Peel dashboard and write down the figures by age group periodically and they don't save old data in the dashboard) the case-hospitalization rate of 20-29 year olds in peel is 0.44%. Imagine rolling a dice 229 times. Each roll of the dice is a COVID case. In one of those 229 rolls you're going to end up in the hospital if you are 20-29.

Apparently she's having trouble breathing and she's receiving oxygen. Sounds like she's in acute care. An ICU admission for her age group is super rare. She's not obese. Though apparently she doesn't eat fruits and vegetables. But isn't that most 20-somethings? Maybe she just has really shitty luck. Or there's shit about coronaviruses that our dumb ass scientists don't understand after living with these viruses for millions of years. Like I said, roll a dice 229 times. And you end up in the hospital one of those times. Or it could just be that my niece or sibling made the story up to scare me into taking the vaccine. Who knows.

In my age group the case-hospitalization rate was 1.15% during the same time period. My odds are 164% worse than someone a decade younger than me. But still pretty damn good. I suspect the vast majority of that 1.15% are obese. The proportion of landwhales my age on POF and Tinder is far higher than 1.15% after all.

I suspect it's possible that my niece's friend started hyperventilating with anxiety after she found out she had SARS-CoV-2. I remember one time being so anxious upon hearing some really bad news that I started having chills. The mind plays tricks on you.

Now even if this were true and this healthy 24 year old is struggling to breathe with COVID, once again, why the fuck hasn't ThE sCiEnCe figured out what's leading a small percentage of supposedly young healthy people into the hospital? Why are the scientists keeping us from being informed about all the health risks? Instead they just want all of us to be afraid and take the vaccine.
