No it's just a talking point to minimize the seriousness of the pandemic.

If anything people overestimate the risk for young people vs old.

COVID 19 is a leading cause of death for children and young people in the USA so I'm going to disagree. https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/978052

Edit: I said "the" not "a", sue me. Still a boat load of morons trying to underplay the seriousness of the pandemic. It's a big deal and it's not only old people who die and even if it was, it would still be a big deal.

COVID 19 is a leading cause of death. No reason to exaggerate, it is serious enough of an issue without misinformation
