Man, this chart is really a death blow to some posters. The vast majority of 80 year olds and the majority of 90+ have mild or asymptotic cases. The fatality rate for 90+ is only 10%. I wonder what the flu fatality rate for the 90+ is?

---

Have I done my math wrong or does this still equate to 678k deaths if 50% of those over the age of 40 become infected? Using population stats from 2018.

Seems we should be prudent in our reopening strategies.

'Majority' is irrelevant when the minority is still a number in the multiple 100ks.

Not really. Those are acceptable losses.

Oh OK.

We don't have enough beds for that so I don't see how opening carefully isn't a smart thing to do.
