AGE DISTRIBUTION OF CASES. Local cases from May 1-June 19 (age data for cases lag by a day), including those with missing locations. Only a single category is provided for ages >70, which constitute 14% of all cases. DATA ➡️ data.cdc.gov.tw/en/dataset/ags… 3/6
Our local case fatality rate for May 1-June 19 is 4.1%—sadly another new record for us, and higher than the world average of 1-3%. This is at least partly due to a disproportionate number of older cases, but also possibly indicative of undetected cases. 4/6
CASES & DEATHS and their 7-DAY AVERAGE BY AGE for May 1-June 19 (latest age-matched data available). Mostly good news. Keeping eyes peeled for 1) a spike 1-2 weeks after Dragon Boat, when some traveled of necessity and 2) workplace clusters due to lack of #WorkFromHome. 5/6
I'm a migrant. So are many of you. Some of us are being packed in #Miaoli #Taiwan dorm rooms while forbidden to go outside or speak. Stop turning a blind eye and END this GROSS HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION and international disgrace, @iingwen @eballgogogo. nytimes.com/2021/06/18/wor… 6/6
