COVID Deaths Distribution
Older folks have been the mortality target of this deadly virus. This should be good news for both the Federal Social Security and Medicare budgets. I am of an age that is most in danger and have contracted it once I am thankful that I made the decision to be fully vaccinated.
75% of all deaths have occurred for folks aged 65 and over
Over 95% for persons 50 and over!!
The unvaccinated are about 25 times more likely to die from COVID than the Unvaccinated (using the stats for the pandemic to date), but the vaccinated with underlying medical issues are still at great risk. Especially those with respiratory issues. The article at this link does a great jog of explaining the issue: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/04/29/covid-deaths-unvaccinated-boosters/
Interestingly there is a vast difference in COVID deaths by political party affiliation:
