looking at Covid19 cases per million population vs the median age.( Excluding small population countries). One can see that the higher the age generally the higher the number of cases per million people. 1/5
SA is in Red and pretty much where one would expect it to be. SA median age is 27,1 and the group of countries with an median age between 25 and 30 is 276 cases per million. SA is at 77 cases per million. highest average is over 45 years which equals 1752 cases per million 2/5
At the bottom are those countries whose median age is below 20 years of age have 18 cases per million people. So age does play a role in number of covid cases we get. maybe not enough testing in young countries but as we go up in age cases tend to get more 3/5
That does not mean Children / young adults do not get it but only a few do. Even fewer young people die. Also interesting is that richer countries are hit harder. Asian countries less impacted too it seems. apart from age that is. Question: Will Africa remain low? 4/5
No one knows but as older countries did not have the huge spikes they were expect pre and post lockdown I would suspect that might be the case. The big increases as per population data have so far not happened and likely reflect the younger age of developing counties. 5/5
