Either I don't understand the graph or there is a mistake in the numbers. If the death rates are percentages they are off by a factor of 100. For example, the death rate for those over 70 should be 5.4% not 0.054%.
ReplyDeleteThat's encouraging. I'm over 70, but I live in a rural area and the county has only 11 cases. No deaths.
ReplyDeleteI could not find that chart on the website yesterday; either I don't know where to look or the chart is a troll piece?
ReplyDeleteCDC Planning Scenarios are right here:

The Infection Fatality Ratio for those over 70 is .054, which is 5.4%.
Also should be considered: hospital resource use. Here is some data on bed occupancy and ICU bed occupancy:

...at present, about 46,000 beds and 12,000 ICU beds are consumed by Covid-19 patients...total numbers available are 738K total beds and 84K ICU beds, for the total US.

ReplyDeleteCOVID-19 is not just about mortality. There is serious morbidity associated with the virus as well that can affect multiple organs and systems.
