I'm pretty sure it is killing people under 40.

Is 3-4% correct? maybe, if the elderly are contracting it.

I think the 3-4% is believable for older folks or those with preexisting conditions. China stats said 14% for 80+ and 8% for 70+. I've not seen an age breakdown from Italy yet.

The experts say that the young have the immune system to fight it like they do the common cold and are in fact building up immunity.

That may be. But many kids have asthma and other conditions that may make them more susceptible. So your blanket statement about not killing anyone under 40 is premature

If ever the millenials had a glimmer of hope with the boomers, this is it.

Call it what it is. Ageism is to age as Racism is to race. Lots of anti-racists here that don't give 2c for Boomer+.
