So slowly we are talking about Infection Fatality Rate
According to CDC of US it is 0.65% for Americans
32 million Americans less than 10% population has been infected by Covid
Regional Antibody studies show that it varies from place to place also varies dramatically with age.

Regional Antibody studies show that it varies from place to place also varies dramatically with age.
For example only 0.003% of people less than 19 years of age showed antibodies to Covid virus whereas 5.4% were positive for antibodies among 70+ age group.
Why was not answered convincingly. We do not know why susceptible are infected more.

If you are above 85 years & you get infected then there is 28+% chance that you will die of Covid.
75 - 84 years it is 18% death if Covid positive
65 - 74 it is 8%
50 - 64 it is 2%
39 - 49 it is 0.6%
29 - 38 it is 0.2%
Teenage to 28 it is 0.06%
Twinkle age it is 0.02%

I have been tweeting from the beginning that Covid is not as lethal as it is made out to be especially among youngsters.
However since the number of young people getting is very high you will see good number of deaths among them.

If you are a teen-ager and you get infected & you go home & infect your grandmother because you are careless; remember that it is 1800 to 2000 times more deadly to your grandma.
With these numbers, I say to our govt to act & intervene properly. We do not need sledge hammer interventions. We need small focused incremental changes to bring change.
