Without looking, in February 2023, how many people in the U.S. under age 50 died of COVID-19?

Here are some stats to help your prediction ...
- Total Population: 330,000,000
- Fully Vaccinated (first two series of shots + at least 1 booster): 41%
- Bivalent Booster recipients: 27%

So far, under 50 deaths are under 7%.

Those who answered "Under 1,000" are correct.

In February, 180 people age 50 or younger died of COVID-19 out of the 336,285,023 people in the United States.

Of those 180 people, 2/3rds had comorbidities: 26 were obese, 24 were suffering from end-stage renal failure, 22 had chronic heart disease, and 58 had chronic circulatory diseases.

Also in February, among U50s, approximately

• - 2,583 died in car accidents.
  - 1,483 committed suicide
  - 182 die in childbirth
  - 180 die of COVID-19

Considering child birth is more likely to kill you than COVID-19, should the U.S. Government mandate the compulsory sterilization of all women?

I guessed wrong. How much can I bet in final jeopardy?

Maybe women could wear masks over their vaginas?
