COVID19 HAS AN EXTREMELY LOW FATALITY RATE AND THE AVERAGE PERSON UNDER THE AGE OF 70 Is Fine
It’s all still based on approximations, and as part of the update the CDC also estimates it’s missing most cases of coronavirus in the US — by a factor of 11.
According to the updated “best estimate” numbers posted on the agency’s website:
0.003% of children 18 and younger who are infected with coronavirus die.
The fatality rate is 0.02% of people aged 20 to 49.
0.5% of people aged 50 to 69.
5.4% of people 70 and older.
