I've been noting lately that the share of reported COVID deaths in Florida that are 65 and older seems to be trending down. Now @LenCabrera has produced charts of the percentage of deaths reported on each date since September 1 that are 65+, along with a 7-day average line.

The median age of reported deaths has also been trending down since mid-February, although it's not as dramatic, and the raw data is pretty noisy.

Now looking at deaths by CaseDate (date of positive test result) instead of reported date, it is clear that the percentage of 65+ has been falling since early February. However, the data for the past month or so is incomplete.

The median age of deaths by CaseDate is also falling. Again, the data for the past month or so is incomplete.

The age of deaths by report date is calculated by comparing all cases in FDOH case line data file for the specified date with "Yes" or "Recent" in the "Died" field to the previous day's file to identify new deaths reported.

The ages of deaths by CaseDate come from the 3/24/21 case line data, sorting by Case_ for all data with "Yes" or "Recent" in the "Died" field. We don't know the actual dates of death.
