Old stuff, but statistically relevant:

Just look at the differentials:
18-29 0.75
30-49 5.33
50-64 21.54
65-79 72.21
80 plus 77.00
Respiratory infections that elementary students can treat as a mini-vacation from school kill people with compromised immune systems, so even with all appropriate protections someone like the late Colin Powell (who also had Parkinsonism and myeloma, either of which singly would have killed him with or without COVID-19) can have it on his death certificate. This said, if the most effective way to avoid COVID-19 were to become a heavy smoker, then I would get myself some smokes.
COVID-19 is not a trivial matter for people over 65, so keep using masks -- please!

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
