The CDC publishes weekly the number of people dying from Covid-19. I decided to take a look at the CDC website today and I was surprised at how skewed the death toll numbers for the United States. I walked around, drove around is maybe a better phrase, and I noticed that there are as many people wearing masks as not. It means there are still people worrying about the consequences of the Covid-19 impinging on their own survival. Those people not wearing masks who have been vaccinated feel that there is no reason to wear a mask. Those wearing a mask with or without a vaccination remain concerned. Let me share some statistical information in the hopes that it will be helpful for most.
On my websites eshanikaru.com and dreshaniniranyakarumd.com I wrote today the combined deaths for people 40 and over as a percentage of deaths from Covid-19 is 72.92%. Let me share with you the raw data from the CDC and let you make of it what you will.
Total Deaths – 596,740
40 and older – 435,193
30 to 39 – 6,974
18 to 29 – 2,424
15 to 24 – 988
