>The mean (SD) age of survivors was 54.4 (8.9) years, 140 196 (56%) were male, and 197 777 (79%) were hospitalized during acute COVID-19

And you extrapolate that cohort to assume “50% of those who survive”?

I have no words how disingenuous, fearmongering, misleading and overall disgusting this type of study, and follow up “journalism” is. Reminds me of the CDC latest jewels being parroted by the same media.

This "extrapolation" (that was very polite of you) is a blatant lie. Indeed fearmongering.
