An outlier for sure.

Very sad. Those two kids are very young and this must be incredibly painful for his family. While the majority of deaths are >65, I wouldn't call such cases outliers. This was published today regarding the 227 new deaths reported today in LA County:

Of the 227 new deaths reported today, 89 people that passed away were over the age of 80 years old, 70 people who died were between the ages of 65 and 79 years old, 40 people who died were between the ages of 50 and 64 years old, and 18 people who died were between the ages of 30 and 49 years old. Eight-five people who died had underlying health conditions including 35 people over the age of 80 years old, 29 people between the ages of 65 and 79 years old, 14 people between the ages of 50 and 64 years old, and seven people between the ages of 30 and 49 years old. Nine deaths were reported by the City of Long Beach.

7% of deaths were in the 30-49 range. 62% of overall deaths did not have underlying health conditions. 22% of deaths in the 30-49 range did not have underlying health conditions. Just a snapshot in time, but illustrative.

What a crazy disease.

You can be the picture of comorbidities in your 60s and just get a runny nose and then you can be 41, healthy and end up choking to death on vent a month later.

NO! Died of Cardiac Arrest... Heart Attack! His stress level and blood pressure most likely went ballistic that triggered Heart Attack.
Had it kept calm he might have survived. People need to remove Sugar and Salt from your Diets. Better chances living longer.

Dr. G.E. Ghali, of LSU Health Shreveport, told NOLA.com that Letlow was in critical condition but showed signs of improvement. He "apparently suffered a cardiac event this evening that was refractory to all resuscitation efforts."

What a crazy disease.

I suspect part of the reason why it's so weird is that its so novel to human beings. We haven't, through the process of evolution, established a set pattern. So it affects different people differently. I suspect that after say 50 years it will be a lot more predicatable. Hopefully it wont be around much by then, though.

The dietary recommendation sounds good, but cardiac arrest is a known primary cause of death with COVID19 as an underlying cause.

Process of evolution ? BOOL SNIT !

Sure, ok.

An outlier for sure.

Just my opinion, but I sort of suspect you are actually taking Covid fairly seriously and are just pulling people's chain here on Calguns.

[sigstroker]

Way too few details. Why the "procedure" and what was it? Saying "covid" doesn't cut it. The hospital doesn't want to say because they want that Federal moolah.

[therealnickb]

Peace to his family and friends. Far too young.

New said he had a heart attack while undergoing an operation. Curious what kind of operation?

Seriously in what way? I do believe it exists and may be contributing to some hospitals being filled to capacity.

I do not think it is a dangerous virus, especially for those under 70. I do not think masks or "social distancing" are effective. I do not think shutting down beaches, hiking trails, restaurants, etc. will do anything to slow the spread. I do not think anything should even be done to slow the spread, I do not think the virus is dangerous enough to merit such measures, and they have proven to be completely ineffective.

I know some people here have been seriously impacted by the virus (either by having their business destroyed or a loved one passed away). I think the government reaction is causing far, far more harm than the virus ever will.

If the government took no measures whatsoever except to tell people to wash their hands, the virus would spread like it has, but the economy would still be chugging along without trillions of dollars of debt incurred.

I am sick of seeing lines outside stores, sick of people wearing masks everywhere, it's all useless. If I really thought there was a virus out there that had a high chance of killing me I wouldn't go outside. I wouldn't go out and then rage at people who didn't have a bandana on their face. I'd stay home to protect myself.

Except for raging at bandanna wearers I agree 100%. I would add that if we did nothing it may have run it's course by now. I doubt the casualties would have been any higher.
