Sorry dude can you explain a bit better. Genuinely dont understand.BTW, if anyone is curious about the latest data, it does mainly hit people over 55 with 55 year olds having a death rate of about 4 times a really bad flu season. 65 year olds the death rate is about 13 times a really bad flu season. 45 times as bad for 75 year olds, and 150 times as bad for 85 year olds. Much lower rates for those under 55 but those under 55 still make up about 10% of the deaths.
Assessing the Age Specificity of Infection Fatality Rates for COVID-19: Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Public Policy Implications
This paper assesses the age specificity of the infection fatality rate (IFR) for COVID-19 using seroprevalence results from eight national studies and fifteen regional studies as well as five countries that have engaged in comprehensive tracing of COVID-19 infections. The estimated IFR is close...www.medrxiv.org
Population wise, that's about 6.5 million people who will have at least a 4x higher chance of dying from Covid-19 than the flu. But 6.5 million is obviously only a "tiny fraction of the community"
6.5mil world wide or in Australia?
Does the 6.5mil assume everyone is infected or does that relate to only those recorded infected?
Also, i mean we know alot more about the virus now than we did in Jan to May. Ie, how it works,how to treat it more effectively, preventative measures etc. Are those stats inclusive of the whole year? Or are they specific to the first major wave (jan to may) or second wave (june to sept)?
With the latest stats. Could you provide tje % rather than as a multiplier of the flu deaths?? Would be interesting to see the death amd infection rate separately for jan to may and may to sept.
