An emotional anecdote conveys the personal impact of an issue. It helps with empathy, something OP is not demonstrating. Statistics do back that it is possible for young people to die of COVID, albeit less likely than older people.

I have a significant amount empathy which is why I have invested personal time and actual dollars in building this site and engaging in professional discussions.

My empathy is primarily towards the people who have worked hard for what they have only to have it ripped away because of arbitrary government decisions.

Regardless, the people who have passed directly from and because of this disease is a tragic story in the history of our country.
