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 30
5.0× at 40
8.6× at 50
13.6× at 60
14.4× at 70

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:

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

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
