Are those numbers supposed to be comforting? > 80+ years old: 14.8%, 70-79 years old: 8.0% That makes it extremely likely that at least one friend or family member while die of this. > 30-39 years old: 0.2% To put things in perspective (https://www.statista.com/statistics/241572/death-rate-by-age-and-sex-in-the-us/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/241572/death-rate-by-age...), that doubles this risk of death this year for that age bracket. > 10-19 years old: 0.2% That roughly quadruples the rate of death for that bracket. And besides that, it's not the mortality that's the biggest worry but the amount that need critical care (10-20%). In a large outbreak there will simply be more critical cases than there are ventilators to put them on. Edit - Does anyone know what sort of triage China put in place? Ie, when they don't have enough capacity are they favoring treating young people and giving up on the 80+?
