This poster, Graciegirl, ago 80, previous pre-school teacher and card carrying mother and grandmother asks OP this question in a different way.
What percentage of people who are hospitalized for Covid-19 die.
By age.
Thank you.

Gracie, you can see this for yourself on the Florida COVID website here: ww11.doh.state.fl.us
This is the line list of deaths in Florida since they first started keeping the records.
They are listed county by county. Just scroll down through the pages and pages until you get to the county you are interested in. Every age is listed and the date of their death.
I guess you still would not know what percentage of these people are dying in the hospital on a ventilator however. But you do get a sense that most people who die of COVID are quite elderly, many of whom may have been going to die anyway at these advanced ages. I do note that in Broward county, the last deaths dated 7/1 through 7/11, 17 people died, and 9 of them were under age 55.
