What we know and donÂ’t about the Americans who died from coronavirus
What we know and donÂ’t about the Americans who died from coronavirus
As the novel coronavirus continues to claim lives in the United States, experts are investigating what factors increase some peopleÂ’s risk of dying from the virus.
So far, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have not released a summary of basic demographic information about the people who have died, but according to information collected by ABC News' Medical Unit, the majority of deaths have been among people in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

The data in the U.S. is similar to Italy, which has been particularly hard-hit by the coronavirus, found the average age among the 105 patients who died from the virus as of March 4 was 81 years old. It also roughly matches data from China, which found that the risk of death increases with age.
So far, at least 49 people in the United States have died from COVID-19. Basic demographic information from local health authorities -- age, gender or both -- is available for 42 of the deaths. Among those, at least 24 were women and 18 were men. This stands in contrast to data from China, where a majority of deaths were in men.

In the U.S., of the cases for which there is data, only one person who died was in their 40s, while two people died in their 50s. Seven people were in their 60s, nine people in their 70s, 13 people in their 80s and 10 people were in their 90s.
This means the vast majority of deaths so far are among people older than 70, which matches roughly with data emerging from Italy, China and other countries hard-hit by COVID-19.
This information should be interpreted cautiously. The data is partial and does not include cases for which patient demographics have not been released by local public health authorities. The data does not contain medical history, which is often crucial in helping medical professionals understand exactly why certain people are more likely to die than others.
The CDC has said repeatedly that people with underlying medical conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes and immune system disorders, are more likely to die of COVID-19.

This got my attention. Look at the numbers. No way does these numbers warrant the extreme far over the top action being engaged in.
This is a real virus, a threat, but it has become so damn politicized as to be the political actions are now becoming the real threat, imho.
Anybody with a good head for math can figure this out.
The epicenter for the outbreak was China-- and months ago-- ask yourself why arent their 500,000 or to a few million dead there-- if it is the hideous pandemic they are crying it is...
And look at the ones that have died-- primarily age 70 and older and/or with pre-existing critical health ailments! ( ?)
They keep bringing up the Spanish flu of 1918 and 50 million dead worldwide back then-- -- but the Spanish flu had no age limit did it(?)
-- it killed those infected at --ANY AGE. If you got it you either died or you didnt-- age/ youth could not protect you.
I went to Walmart grocery department yesterday-- there was no milk, no bread, almost zero meat, large freezers of frozen meat-- all were empty!
I needed one loaf of bread, one jug of milk , one pack of boneless, skinless chicken breast, red potatoes-- none were to be had!
People were there running around like an incoming nuke was on its way.
Folks need to get a damn grip!
The media driven frenzy is insane and is certainly ---here in the USA----- being screamed and promoted by the damn dem party, imho.
Those primarily responsible for fanning the flames are politicians and media. Each doing so regardless of harm it may cause, to further their personal/financial/political aims..
Here is the score in my opinion, treat this like it may be a bad flu.
Go out less, was hand frequently, avoid large crowds. Stay home more and increased cleaning in the home about 5 fold.
Now because of the intentionally fanned panic-- one must take other unnecessary steps.
O and by the way-- that walmart had 11 packs of toilet paper, the small 8 rolls per pack ones.
I bought one pack, as we only had 5 rolls at home.....
And I cussed out a damn fool (a man) that frantically ran his shopping cart into my back on the frozen food aisle.
I should have knocked him out , since he hit me and then said to me-- "excuse you"!!
I am cussing him to his damn face and his wife spoke up telling him-- darling you ran into him!
Then suddenly when harshly scolded by her he started trying to apologize..
I replied, just get along before I am forced to do more than just talk-- he took off ...
Wife then apologized-- I then thanked her , saying- " thank you kindly maam-- have a good day...
Yes my little shopping foray yesterday was quite an experience....
Never a dull moment sometimes it seems to me.
A 20/30/40 YEAR OLD ME WOULD HAVE KNOCKED HELL OUT OF HIM AS SOON AS HE SAID-- EXCUSE YOU!!
I woke this morn truly pissed at myself for not doing it anyways...
Old age has slowed me down.. - :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:--Tyr
