By 35 and again by 50 your risk of death's increased. By 60 you're already seeing a disproportionately large amount of deaths.

Interesting how the Latino population in Age \ Deaths doesn't increase with age like the other populations What you said only applies to Latinos

  If I had to guess I'd say that the generally worse health outcomes for Latinos means that things just don't have that much room to get worse as they age. In terms of COVID vax rates among blacks and latinos is lower than it is amongst whites and asians so that's not helping. Look at how much higher the mortality rate is for younger Latinos… yikes.

  > What you said only applies to Latinos No. What I said applies to all cohorts. Take a look at the bar chart entitled "Percentage of deaths vs. population". That's not broken out by race or gender, only by age. Below 35 deaths are underrepresented. When you hit 35+ the inner bar (percentage of deaths) becomes a larger part of the outer bar (percentage of total population), by 50 it's nearly equal, and for 60+ deaths are overrepresented.

Here in Canada, 97.2% of deaths are in 50+. https://i.imgur.com/dlDhdix.png https://i.imgur.com/dlDhdix.png Source: https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/ https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/ Here's how the Ontario's hospitalization and death rate looks based on age and vax status in the 4 month period: https://imgur.com/a/UswEidp https://imgur.com/a/UswEidp Source: https://www.publichealthontario.ca/-/media/documents/ncov/epi/covid-19-epi-confirmed-cases-post-vaccination.pdf?sc_lang=en https://www.publichealthontario.ca/-/media/documents/ncov/ep... Even before the vaccinations, the pre-vaccine infection fatality rate in anyone under 50 or even 60 was absolutely tiny.
