If you are age 50, and you died this year (please don’t vote), what are the chances it was COVID?
Be careful with your guess – it’s probably not what you think.
Answer?
Almost 10%. Yep. At age 50.
This isn’t to point out that COVID kills more than advertised – no – but instead, that at age 50 - you probably won't die of anything. But if you do...10% chance it's COVID.
Higher than you thought? Lower? Interesting stat...
Same question, age 85...?
Answer...10%.
Like I said...weird...
(If you’re a flat-earther, and think covid kills no one – please don’t bother responding – the data is the CDC’s, not mine, and I believe them and not you. By the way, influenza kills few folks by itself too.)
