HIDDEN DATA: What is the median age of Coronavirus death? 80 years-old or 82 years-old?

14

Why is this data hidden?
Does anyone know the median age of all COVID-19 deaths in the U.S.? With and without co-morbidities?

“The COVID death rate will likely settle into the 0.25%-0.4% range (1 in 250 people infected to 1 in 400). Far from 20 times higher than flu. Meanwhile, the median age of death is 78-80. And unlike the flu, SARSCoV2 is basically not dangerous to children.” (here)

FORBES: I have no idea. But for the sake of argument, let’s say it is 72. You might say it is 68, or you might say it is 76. You don’t know, exactly, and I don’t either. Someone should ask Drs. Fauci and Birx next time. We know it’s not young. It is almost certainly over 65 and quite higher in many states. (It was 80 in Vermont as of last week.) We know, definitively, that age is one of two primary risk factors for COVID-19 deaths. A pre-existing, co-morbid condition (diabetes, obesity, history of smoking, etc.) is the other big risk. All of this widely known and reported. It’s not unfair to say that a median 72-year-old who dies from COVID-19 was probably not the healthiest of 72-year-olds.

[UPDATE 4-26-20, 9:40am ET: The intrepid reporter, @AlexBerenson, cites the median age of death as 78-80. If correct, this strengthens the case for using actuarial tables when analyzing COVID-19 death damage.]

So let’s make an informed guess about living days stolen by COVID-19.

If 80,000 Americans end up dying from COVID-19 in 2020, that will be a terrible tragedy. But the scale of this tragedy is much less when you look at the number of living days stolen from the newly dead, whose median age (we agreed, for sake of argument) was 72. And since that median-age 72-year-old who died from COVID-19 also likely had a co-morbid condition, then the number of days remaining without COVID-19 was not terribly much. How many days of life did COVID-19 cost the median 72-year-old with a co-morbid condition? We have no actuarial tables to tell us. No doubt some researcher will tell us one day. But today we can only guess.

Would the median-age 72-year-old with co-morbid conditions have lived another 1,000 days (or 2.73 years) without COVID-19? Or perhaps double that – 2,000 days (5.43 years)? Or then again, maybe only 500 days (1.36 years)? Let’s take the middle number, 1,000 additional days. We can see that COVID-19’s lethal impact (forecasted 80,000 deaths x 1,000 stolen days) will have resulted in 80 million stolen days.

It’s as if the Democrats won the lotto on the day they needed to win it.

It’s as if the virus was custom made or hand picked for a purpose.

The virus came from the perfect place to make it look like an accident or foreign act of aggression.

The Democrats knew it was coming somehow, and tried to get it here, and they had some international help in that effort.

The old are murdered. It burns down the old house so to speak…and that’s a familiar theme.

The murder creates the perfect fear campaign to con us into voting by mail.

The timing and effect were both perfect to exploit to win the next election.

The Democrats have been focused on taking the political power of the WH since they lost the last election.

It’s like magic…

and here’s the really evil part of this deliberate destruction of america….it’s all about preserving the right of a democrat pregnant woman to murder the unborn person within her. burn down the country, blame it on trump, get it to stick, get a democrat president, RBG finally reaches room temperature, maybe a couple of other old judges croak, and the court gets packed with democrat judges for another generation.

It’s all about ruining the name of freedom, and murdering it. It’s about using us to murder the opposition to the global rule of the most evil people on earth, and murdering us in the process. The key to their dreams is our arsenal under their control one last time. Their global hitman and our assassin lost the most important election in their history. They die in their own trap if they don’t take the WH and finish the diabolical agenda that would result in a smoldering globe run by a few who rule like pharaohs.

The buying and selling of fear is ultimately corrupt. Nothing good has been birthed by fear and panic, and humanity becomes as sheep in its wake.

Fear of Biden or a substitute for him motivates me to do my part to not let that happen!

A pre-existing, co-morbid condition (diabetes, obesity, history of smoking, etc.)
is the other big risk.

Anyone with immune issues and cancer (that weakens the immune system) are also at risk. There is no reason why these can not be more careful when the MAJORITY is being punished. Those at risk just need to be more careful and let others get on with their iives!

Actually nicotine has a minimal protective effect against COVID-19; it minimally interferes with the binding of the S1beta portion of the virus’s spike protein so it cannot properly fuse to the host cell’s membrane and infect the cell. But under no circumstances smoke cigarettes or ingest nicotine as a prophylactic against COVID-19.

And it an overactive immune system that causes the cytokine storm that actually does the lung damage that kills the COVID-19 infected patient. People with autoimmune diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis or those carrying those genes, are in more danger than the general public. Not proven (because of limited data), but it seems that a high c-reactive protein level, a measure of the immune response present the body, is another factor that may increase a person’s chances of lung damage and death from COVID-19.

But you are correct! Those at risk of lung injury or death without treatment, about 5% of the population that are genetically predisposed, can buy an N-92 mask or a respirator and thoroughly wash their hands after they go out to minimize risk, or choose not to go out. In the meantime, the rest of us will probably get infected, feel yucky for 2 weeks, and then in another 10 days, after the last symptom disappears, (s)he will then be immune for at least 6 months, probably a year to a year and a half. We will then have herd immunity, and the more fragile element of the population can then go outside with impunity. Also, within the next year, a safe and effective vaccine will have been developed and FDA approved, without the haste of making mistakes and putting an unsafe or ineffective product on the market. When this virus comes back each year, the various pharmaceutical companies will tweak the vaccine to accommodate the then evolved strain, just as they do for the flu each year. In fact, the COVID vaccine will probably be part of the flu shot.

Interesting…If we smoked that would be even more interesting… We have never gotten flu shots and have never gotten the flu. Anyone with a weakened immune system has to be careful! Taking a flu shot at an older age is absurd!

I can’t begin to tell you how little respect we have for most government agencies such as the FDA, CDC etc. We ignore them. We will continue to not get vaccinated for the flu or anything else.

Break this data down into per million or per thousand sort of numbers to make it more meaningful and likely more dramatic.

The President must order the states to reopen for the young and healthy and set up a special program of support for the elderly and those with underlying health conditions that make them vulnerable. We are at war and we have to get our county back into the production or we will be defeated by the CCP attack. There will be some casualties but that is to be expected at a country and world that is now at war.

” If 80,000 Americans end up dying from COVID-19 in 2020, that will be a terrible tragedy.”

AND STILL ONLY 0.024% OF THE POPULATION.
