The chance of someone with symptomatic Covid-19 dying varied by age, confirming other studies. For those aged 15 to 44, the fatality rate was 0.5%, though it might have been as low as 0.1% or as high as 1.3%. For people 45 to 64, the fatality rate was also 0.5%, with a possible low of 0.2% and a possible high of 1.1%. For those over 64, it was 2.7%, with a low and high estimate of 1.5% and 4.7%.
As physicians and researchers have seen since the start of the outbreak, many infected people never become sick.

Even though I am 69, that is still reassuring.
I remember how sick I was in 1957 with the Asian Flu. I missed half of first grade.
The link would not open for me.
I’ve hopefully fixed the link but also added a second link to the same article, Pocket website version.
It works now. 😀
