Roughly 30,000 under 50.
Roughly 100,000 from 50-64.
Yes a lot of deaths are from elderly people. But those are pretty considerable deaths from middle aged individuals as well.
35,000 people die in car accidents each year and we consider that to be a pretty big deal.
Current Covid death stats by age group.

We rarely discuss deaths in car accidents outside Princess Diana. Compared to Covid chatter, car accidents are on mute. The 42,000 who died in 2020 were all but ignored unless they also had Covid.
I tend to think of car accidents as kind of a big deal. A lot of people have lost someone in a car accident. Maybe it is just Princess Diana for you.
There are also about 18,000 homicides annually. If there were 130,000 homicides annually for individuals under 64, posters like Canon and RD2 would be freaking the hell out and never step foot in a big city again.
Ahh, yes. The virus which no one can control save for improving their own outlook with a vaccine, is like high speed collisions and gang gun play. I don't see how I missed that brilliant comparison before. It's like a vin diagram where all the circles simply meld into one single unbroken ring. My god, but you're a genius.
1. Kids are at no statistical risk of death
2. Everyone else can choose to vaccinate
3. Masks don't work outside hospital settings
4. Get on with life and leave your petty tyranny at the door
