1 in 9 of those 75-84 that tested positive for COVID died.
1 in 4 of those over 85 that caught COVID died.

Many more young people get the virus, and very few of them die. If you didn’t count anyone over 65 less than 1 out of 200 of people who get COVID die. If you take out those 55 and over that drops to 1 out of 750.
