Virus Stats

[allenlondon]

Anyone come across any official stats breaking down Virus deaths by age etc? Specifically UK, but the Italian and Spanish would also be interesting.

Thanks Sharon. Not quite what I’m after, but interesting.

I was looking for a breakdown of (say) UK deaths, how many over 70, how many 30-50 year olds, that sort of thing.

Because the stats are changing all the time, Allen, I don't think you'll get a definitive bunch of stats. From what we have read and heard, the majority of deaths have been suffered by those elderly and with underlying medical conditions. However, there have been a few exceptions, notably a young 16 year old French girl who had no pre-existing medical complaints and apparently was only suffering from a mild cough.

people of all ages die mysteriously for no known medical reason, it's too easy to attribute it to covid-19.

....and is nobody dying of flu any more? Thousands die of it every year.

I would like to believe that seasoned medical staff can differentiate between the flu and the coronavirus.
