As you can see, there is huge structural
demographic difference between infected
people in Italy and in Germany.
I can not see that from the graphs on your page. Can you express it in a numeric way?
- savespain-cov19 7y agoIn Italy 57.5% infected people are 60 year old or older. 18.3% of people are 80 year old or older. The source for this is here https://twitter.com/GlennLuk/status/1237904780577722369 https://twitter.com/GlennLuk/status/1237904780577722369 In Germany according Robert Koch Institute has demographic data about 447 cases of 902 total cases. According to this data only there are only 14% men in the age group 60-79 and only 10% of women in the same age group. There is very small amount of people (difficult to measure from the graph) that are 80 year old or older. Edit: Also thank you! I edited the page to include this information.
