Not true. Covid 19 is about 10x as likely to kill you even in that age group.See: https://i.insider.com/5ef234caf34d051bc821d0d8?width=1000&fo...
No, its probably the 14% death rate among the elderly and lung-compromised.
Please keep in mind that the 2% rate does not apply to you. Check your own risk here:https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-se...
Unless you have cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory disease or hypertension... Then the mortality rates can be up to 10% (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-se...)
Make a list of 20 ~40 year olds you know. Are you ok with there being a 2% chance that at least one of them dies of COVID?
How old ? Is there any correlation with age ? mortality rate i mean
A large percentage of those people would have died within the next year anyway.Covid Survival Rate:0-19 years - 99.997%20-49 years - 99.98%50-69 years - 99.5%70+ years - 94.6%
Risk of death due to covid is heavily weighted by age.https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/investi...
> They are likely not considering that even the younger are taking as much as a 1% risk of their lifeI know the numbers are still super fuzzy and it depends on who you ask, but at least according to Wikipedia, the US fatality rate for ages 20-44 is 0.1-0.2%, not near 1% (though certainly at-risk individuals would be higher than the average...)https://en.wikipedia.org&#
It's probably about the same up to age 49, maybe a bit less:https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scena...
