The CDC chart posted by Ralph in
post #9345 shows a 1.4% covid death rate for ages 60-64.
Pulling numbers off the chart at
Statista I get a death rate of 1.798% all causes (men and women combined) for ages 55-64.
I spent a few minutes and came up with the following table:
Code:
AGE 2018 Death Rate by Age All Causes
----- --------------------------------------------
35-44 0.003897 = (men 249.5 + women 140.2)/100,000
45-54 0.007943 = (men 491.8 + women 302.5)/100,000
55-64 0.017900 = (men 1119 + women 670)/100,000
65-74 0.036175 = (men 2196.5 + women 1421)/100,000
75-84 0.089430 = (men 5155 + women 3788)/100,000
85+ 0.273740 = (men 14504 + women 12870)/100,000
Anyone besides me find it interesting that, for EVERY age group except under 1 year and 85 and over, Covid death rates pretty much mirror pre-covid 2018 all causes death rates in the US?
Given the overwhelming amount of media coverage for all things covid, and given how hard big tech, the media, and governments planet wide have pushed to shut down every imaginable human endeavor:
I expected the difference between the two to be much wider.
