COVID-19 death counts shown here may differ from other published sources, as data currently are lagged by an average of 1–2 weeks. Death counts for earlier weeks are continually revised and may increase or decrease as new and updated death certificate data are received from the states by NCHS. Therefore, the data shown on this page may be incomplete, and will likely not include all deaths that occurred during a given time period, especially for the more recent time periods. It is important to note that it can take several weeks for death records to be submitted to National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), processed, coded, and tabulated. National provisional counts include deaths occurring within the 50 states and the District of Columbia that have been received and coded as of the date specified. While coronavirus is obviously concerning and a very real threat to some people (namely, the elderly and immunocompromised), these data also show that the risk for the rest of the population is quite low.The provisional counts for COVID-19 deaths are based on a current flow of mortality data in the National Vital Statistics System. The Swiss study estimated IFR's by age group: Young people are far less likely to die than older people. Another group, which examined deaths in Geneva, Switzerland, concluded that the overall IFR is 0.38% to 0.98% (with a point estimate of 0.64%.)
(This includes people with asymptomatic infections or those who are infected but never get tested.) One group believes the range is 0.1% to 0.41% (with a point estimate of 0.28%). None of the above data answers the question, "What is my risk of dying from coronavirus if I get infected?" For that, we need to look at the infection fatality rate (IFR), which is the percentage of people who die given that they are infected. Risk of Death from Coronavirus: COVID-19 Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) population but suffered 23% of all COVID deaths. The number that stands out here is the percentage of COVID deaths that occurred among Black Americans. Thirteen children of primary and middle school age (5-14 years) died from COVID-19, but this represented only 0.7% of all deaths in this age group 1,742 kids died of other things during this same time period. Below that, the proportion of deaths due to coronavirus fell dramatically. The proportion of deaths due to coronavirus were about the same for each age group above 45 years. Of the roughly 1.2 million American deaths that occurred between February 1 and June 17, almost 9% were due to coronavirus. The following chart shows the percentage of deaths in each age group that were due to coronavirus: Each year, about 2.8 million Americans pass away. One thing that is often forgotten is that people of all ages are dying all the time. That increases to over 92% if the 55-64 age group is included. More than 80% of deaths occur in people aged 65 and over. The first age group to provide a substantial contribution to the death toll is 45-54 years, who contribute nearly 5% of all coronavirus deaths.
Here's the coronavirus mortality data by age group:Īs shown, deaths in young people (from babies to college students) are almost non-existent. (For example, the death toll in the United States according to Johns Hopkins is over 120k, but the CDC's most recent data only shows roughly 103k.) Still, this shouldn't impact the age and race analysis. Bear in mind, that the CDC's mortality data often lags behind other sources. Using this, it is easy to summarize how the disease has impacted Americans differentially based on age and race. The CDC has accumulated mortality data about the COVID-19 pandemic from February 1 to June 17. While this is true, it remains relatively uncommon. Public health officials and the media have been warning us that coronavirus kills not just old or immunocompromised people but young people too.
