COVID STATS

Submitted by: P McMillan

Please read this to understand the depth of the current national madness.

I found a web source that has picked up the NYC COVID stats.  Web link below.

Here are the death-risk stats, as of today:

NYC COVID:

• COVID illnesses diagnosed to date:  192,374
• COVID deaths of otherwise healthy persons under age of 18:  1   (risk of death = .000005, same as your lifetime risk of death by lightning)
• COVID deaths of otherwise healthy persons ages 18 – 44 =  21    (risk of death = .0001, same as your lifetime risk of death by choking on food)
• COVID deaths of otherwise healthy persons ages 45 – 64 = 69    (risk of death = .0004, same as your lifetime risk of death by smoke inhalation)
• COVID deaths of otherwise healthy persons ages 65 – 74 =  3     (risk of death = .00002, same as your lifetime risk of death by storm, bee sting, or hot surface)
• COVID deaths of otherwise healthy persons ages 75+ =  2            (risk of death = .00001, same as your lifetime risk of death by storm)

Age is not a risk factor for COVID death.  Serious underlying health conditions are a risk factor for COVID death.

The extraordinarily vulnerable should quarantine themselves.  The rest of the world needs to get back to church, school, and work.
