Hundreds of young and healthy people have died from Covid-19.

The risk is “basically zero” but so is the current known 1 in 7 million risk of dying from this blood clotting.

Death is not the only risk factor. Covid-19 carries the risk of serious complications for those who recover, even including those who are infected but asymptomatic.

The risk is low, but I think the last I saw was a 0.01% IFR in the young, which comes out to 1 in 10,000. Still a higher risk than COVID at this point, although it's possible that they'll discover a higher incidence like with AZ.

Isn't it just person (1 person), not people, at this point?
