Current Minnesota Death Rates

By September 22, 2020Commentary1 min read

Just a quick update to demonstrate the ongoing extreme bifurcation of serious CV-19 cases.  The table below pretty much says it all.  As you see the general population and younger people have a phenomenally low risk.  Remember too that cases are only those detected so likely a fraction of the total, meaning the CFRs will be much lower in reality.

And here are the comparative risks between the groups:

THE COMPARATIVE POPULATION RATE OF DEATH LTC VERSUS GENERAL POPULATION IS 187 TIMES

THE COMPARATIVE POPULATION RATE OF DEATH 80 AND OVER VERSUS UNDER 30 IS 1833 TIMES

THE COMPARATIVE CASE RATE OF DEATH LTC VERSUS GENERAL POPULATION IS 35 TIMES

THE COMPARATIVE CASE RATE OF DEATH 80 AND OVER VERSUS UNDER 30 IS 2143 TIMES
