[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 726303, member: 1776"] I've haven't seen any stats that would support this statement. It's basically a false statement. CDC just released a study through May 30th. In it 1,234 individuals 10-19 have been admitted to the hospital - 2.5% of all testing positive cases. 216 ended up in ICU (that's 0.4% of all testing positive cases). 33 died (o.1% of all covid positive cases). Note that due to the data cutoff date those raw numbers probably need to be raised 75% to account for where we stand today. Those are small numbers. But I don't know of any football players that have died from a broken neck much less 33. Note that is conservative as the numbers for the 20-29 age group are much higher than the 10-19 age group - even if very small compared to the older populations. In the 20-29 age group the numbers are 6,704 hospitalized (3.7%), 864 in ICU (0.5%), 273 deaths (0.1%) Once again assume those numbers are roughly 75% higher today. [URL]https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm6924e2-H.pdf[/URL] I'm not arguing young people are at high risk, that is not the case, but to say that young people are more likely to die from a football injury is not likely to hold up to any scrutiny. Interestingly, the avg age of death in the US is younger than it is in Europe. US has a much smaller share of its death coming from 80+ compared to europe while it has larger percentages coming from 40-69 yr olds. In each age bracket between 40-70 the US death % is a little less than twice that of Europe. [IMG]https://www.economist.com/sites/default/files/20200627_WOC211.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
