Data from CDC as of today…
Risk of going to hospital:
65-75: 1.5% / 50-64: 1% / 18-49: 0.46% / 0-17: 0.075%
Note: Includes all those with health problems; 95% of those numbers above have at least one comorbidity. So your chance of being hospitalized if you’re healthy is roughly 5% of your age group number above (averaged across all age groups, so it won’t be exactly 5, but close enough).
Risk of death if you contract COVID:
65-75: 6.3% / 50-64: 1.9% / 18-49: 0.24% / 0-17: 0.01%
Note: Includes all those with comorbidites, as well as all data starting Mar 20.
Interesting numbers on the vaccines:
Fully (partially) vax’d: 65+ 86.1% (99.4%) / 18+ 70.6% (81.6%) /12+ 68.9% (79.7%). Pretty high vaccination rates overall.
Over the course of the last year, the vaccines have reduced the death rate by 0.16% (averaged over all age groups/total US population).
My personal takeaways from the data:
1. If you’re under 65, your risk of hospitalization/death is minuscule; if you’re without comorbidities your risk is even more minuscule. There is certainly not zero risk (caveat for those who will try to misconstrue my words).
2. The vaccines have hardly moved the needle, despite what the MSM, gov reps, and Pharma say. Last 30 days death rate is only 0.16% less than the day prior to EUA. That is not to say vaccines have not accomplished anything, but rather they are significantly less impactful than what many want/believe them to be.
3. Your overall health and age appear to be the largest factors in how you react to COVID. The “pandemic of the unvax’d” is a total misnomer, as it’s really a “pandemic of the unhealthy (who also may have chosen not to get vax’d).” If we actually root cause this thing, we should be directing much of our misplaced effort towards creating a healthier America, not on emotionally-driven virtue signaling/attacking our neighbors about masks, vaccine mandates, etc.
