COVID versus FLU mortality by age: Data on Infection Fatality Ratio (IFR) by age of #COVID19 vs seasonal influenza shows COVID is MULTIPLE TIMES more fatal at all ages above 30:
2.9× more fatal at age 305.0× at 408.6× at 5013.6× at 6014.4× at 70(HT @zorinaq)
2) I’ve found Marc Bevand @zorinaq to be one of the best data analyst and visual data experts. Please follow him.
3) Here is also my @FAScientists team’s weekly analysis of mortality worldwide. Follow me & @euromaestro for these weekly US and world #COVID19 updates.
4) The WHO in fact actually thinks the IFR of #COVID19 could be much higher - potentially 50x to 500x higher IFR than 2009 flu pandemic.
@DrMikeRyan compares #SARSCoV2’s IFR to the 2009 flu pandemic:
50x to 500x higher IFR than 2009 flu pandemic. @DrMikeRyan compares #SARSCoV2’s IFR to the 2009 flu pandemic:
5) In the video, Dr Ryan describes average COVID IFR as 0.6%... which comes to 50x to 500x worse than 2009 flu.
0.6% IFR
~1 in 200 infected die of #COVID19
2009 H1N1 influenza 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 100,000 infected died
0.6% IFR
~1 in 200 infected die of #COVID192009 H1N1 influenza
1 in 10,000 to 1 in 100,000 infected died
6) Someone requested it on linear scale — here ya go. Though I think the age 30-40 is maybe sloppy fat iPad drawing @JasonSalemi ;) — please follow Jason, his analyses are awesome. Cant speak for his fat fingers though. https://twitter.com/jasonsalemi/status/1311781516159180801
7) In addition to mortality, there is also a staggering numbers of patients suffering from chronic Covid symptoms and long term illnesses. It’s not just death folks. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1311769010166468608
