trying to research this question - who died from covid in usa? ============
from Race, Ethnicity, and Age Trends in Persons Who Died from COVID-19 — United States, May–August 2020 | MMWR (cdc.gov) - https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6942e1.htm Persons aged ≥65 years and members of minority racial and ethnic groups are disproportionately represented among COVID-19–associated deaths. Analysis of 114,411 COVID-19–associated deaths reported to National Vital Statistics System during May–August 2020, found that 51.3% of decedents were non-Hispanic White, 24.2% were Hispanic or Latino (Hispanic), and 18.7% were non-Hispanic Black. The percentage of Hispanic decedents increased from 16.3% in May to 26.4% in August. The decreasing percentage of deaths occurring among persons aged ≥65 years and persons in nursing homes, which were important sites of COVID-19–associated deaths early in the pandemic, suggests a continued shift toward noninstitutionalized and younger populations. =================== Race, Ethnicity, and Age Trends in Persons Who Died from COVID-19 — United States, May–August 2020 | MMWR (cdc.gov) - https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6942e1.htm#F1_down 80% of people who died of covid in USA from May 1–August 31, 2020 were over 65 ===================== https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/visualizations/time-series/demo/older-population/Figure 1 Population Aged 65 and Over.pdf 14% of the usa are older than 65 - see top map - lower right ===================== THERE IS PART OF THE ANSWER - SENIORS GOT SCREWED BY COVID - THEY WERE 80% OF THE DEATHS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ONLY 16% OF THE POPULATION Certainly these numbers are not unexpected - and here they are in black and white -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
