People under 50 has a MUCH lower mortality
- DiogenesKynikos 3y agoIt changes gradually with age, and depends on a lot of other factors as well. Given how infectious SARS-CoV-2 is, it is a very deadly virus. It's nearly a worst case for public health. It's not Ebola, but almost no one gets Ebola. It's far deadlier than other viruses that people get seasonally.
- 6nf 3y agoNot sure about where you live but in Australia the median age of covid deaths is 86 which is 8 years older than life expectancy here. For someone my age (43) the probability of death is less than 1 in 100,000
- DiogenesKynikos 3y agoIn Australia, because of the zero-CoVID policy, most people were vaccinated before getting CoVID. In the US, the median age of people who died of CoVID is around 75 years. The average person who died lost about 10 years of life. CoVID is a significant contribution to mortality for most age groups. 10% of all deaths among 40-something-year-olds are due to CoVID. There are around 40k confirmed CoVID deaths in this age group alone.
