surprised it's that low, tho cdc probably just made it all up, I doubt any teens really needed to be hospitalized. Maybe they went cuz they had a panic attack cuz of the media overhyping it, but turned out to be fine.

900 out of millions is still quite low.

true, I mean the 61% seems a low percentage, but out of a low sample size anyway. Really people dying of it are all either old or fat, usually both.

Apparently only 18% of Americans are severely obese and that would be less for kids.
