If this is anything like SARS, a lot of these people who recover but have lung damage are going to be dead within the next 3 years. To me the percent chance of any given age/gender dying is a complete red herring, because what you should care about is your chances of getting ARDS, and afaik that's around 20% across the board.

- Alex3917 7y agoDo you have a source on this? That obviously would make sense, but I haven't actually seen any data on age vs ARDS, only age vs death rates. So absent any information otherwise, I'm not going to assume that if my risk of death (with medical care) is only 0.2% then my risk of ARDS is no more than a couple percent.
- garmaine 7y agoI’m on mobile. If you google, there are charts of hospitalization vs. age. The primary reason for admittance to a hospital is ARDS.
