CDC: 0.15% of COVID-19 Deaths in People 24 or Younger; 80.29% in People 65 and Older
(Worthy News) – Medical experts have long noted that the younger you are, the less likely you are to contract COVID-19 or suffer adverse symptoms, and the latest numbers posted by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention bear that out.
CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics now reports a total of 188 COVID-involved deaths among people age 24 and younger — or 0.154 percent of the total 121,374 COVID deaths reported to CDC from early February through the week ending July 11. The majority of students fall into this 24-and-under age group.
By contrast, a total of 97,459 people age 65 and older have died of COVID as of July 11 — 80.29 percent of the total COVID-involved deaths. [ Source: CNS News (Read More…) ]
