What's this?

Agreed. The good news is less than .0005% of the Covid positive folks

Under 25 will die from it.

Unfortunate more college age kids will die from opioids, alchohol and car crashes.

In fact a college age kid who attends a football game this fall will have a greater chance of dying in a car crash on the trip home.
