Can we stop overhyping? Young people make up under 1% of covid deaths. What’s 1/100 of .5-2% (the overall covid fatality rate)? Infinitely small. Makes for good headlines though...

I for one am concerned about what we may find in the future regarding infertility and birth defects.

Overhype would be zika.

There's more and more data coming out about this virus now. There are child deformities etc

Between my life insurance policy and the chance at infertility, my wife's half tempted to send me to NY to catch this thing.

Meaning children who get infected can get deformed by the virus?

But the gist was about this

Interesting. Now that you mention that that seems to have some relevance to this
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2020.00104/full

I will ask my friends who’ve recently had babies while corona positive if they’ve seen any weird rashes

That's not what people thought when you said "child deformities" in the same sentence as Zika (which could cause microphaly R"L in fetuses).

What's reported in the article you link to is a skin rash, not a deformity.
