Glad to hear about the data. That new death data may change with the opening of the counties. It would be interesting to know the cumulative deaths by age. I notice that data is usually grouped in decades 70-79, 80 plus. Yet the rate is very different for a 72 year old vs a 78 year old vs an 82 year old and also hospitalization and death rate by zip code. This type of information would be more helpful than a guess at how many might have Covid with the small percentage of people actually tested. I also think we need to test for antibodies randomly like California, to get any accuracy for how many people had it.

I appreciate the data you provide. The first post seemed to minimize the impact of this virus and the what I’m trying to say that a 10 year old faces a very small probability as compared to a 70 year old so just throwing the data together is actually meaningless.
