I suggested that itself is "sprouting uninformed anecdotal bull****" because the data itself shows 99.4% of people with the virus in that age group are either asymptomatic or have only mild symptoms. Your extremely unlucky situation to have so many people at that age with severe symptoms in such a close proximity does not reflect the norm with this virus. That is the only point I was trying to raise.
Precisely. I know 9 people
who had COVID-19. The worst symptom for 1 of them was a mild temp for a day. The rest suffered from a runny nose, or lack of taste and smell for a week or two.

Doesn’t mean COVID-19 is harmless to everyone - but for over 99% it’s barley an issue.

A lot of people have trouble with statistics....
