U.S. COVID Deaths by Age Note the death data is about two weeks old due to reporting delays Current U.S. total is 147,073 Source CDC - https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Death-Counts-by-Sex-Age-and-S/9bhg-hcku ----------------------------------- Under 1 year - 11 deaths 1-4 years - 9 deaths 5-14 years - 16 deaths 15-24 years - 190 deaths 25-34 years - 935 deaths 35-44 years - 2,411 deaths 45-54 years - 6,566 deaths 55-64 years - 15,880 deaths 65-74 years - 27,167 deaths 75-84 years - 34,399 deaths 85 years and over - 42,666 deaths All Ages - 130,250 deaths Are all the dead in the 25-34 age range (now over 1000) a mere rounding error? Are all the dead in the 35-44 age range a mere rounding error? Are all the dead in the 45-54 age range a mere rounding error? Are the 55-64 year olds - nearly all still working working a rounding error? Are all of these people who died over a mere 20 week period merely a rounding error to you. The U.S. has another problem -- our dead seem to be younger than in other countries. When covid-19 deaths are analysed by age, America is an outlier American casualties tend to be younger than European ones, which has grim implications https://www.economist.com/graphic-d...ths-are-analysed-by-age-america-is-an-outlier IT is now well-known that, although covid-19 can strike even the very young, older folk face the greatest risk. In hard-hit rich countries, about 60% of all deaths from the disease are among people aged 80 and over. America, however, is an exception. Data released on June 16th by the Centres for Disease Control (CDC) show that the country’s death toll skews significantly younger. There, people in their 80s account for less than half of all covid-19 deaths; people in their 40s, 50s and 60s, meanwhile, account for a significantly larger share of those who die. The median covid-19 sufferer in America is a 48-year-old; in Italy it is a 63-year-old. Why is America such an outlier? Part of the explanation surely lies in the fact that America has a younger population than Europe does. America’s median age is just 38; Italy’s is 45. Another reason, perhaps, is that middle-aged Americans may be less healthy than their European peers, eg, because they tend to be more obese. (More at above url)
The table clearly shows that the ages 25-64 group was 19% of all deaths and that amounted to roughly 20,000 deaths in the US. Exactly my point.
How is that relevant? Over 9 million people in the U.S. get the flu every year according to the google search I just did.
From Texas, gnus.. Is guns right? Jem's last nic when he 'disappeared' was from his first home NYC but now a new one. Appeared when Jem disappeared. Is a twat... Add inconsistent capitalisation. Its Jem.
Our medical system is designed to handle that many, then. And I bet staff wear a mask when they're treating those with flu who come in.
This virus kills fat people, old people and those with pre-existing conditions. Its almost like it was designed to triage long run health care costs. It should not and does not take a Gnus to figure that out.
Of course gnus is the stock symbol for Genius Brands and Jem was just affronted with being shown as just a narcissist and not a smart man.. So maybe the nic came from his screener?
You just told us it was sort of an anagram. Now. it's stock ticker. Would you like to phone a friend? or Are you ready to lock in your answer?
