Juliana’s thoughts on public health

This shows the percentage of people with diagnosed COVID-19 who died by age group from several different countries. It’s really clear that COVID019 hits people over 60 far harder than younger folks, but it’s also clear that people 20-60 can still die from this and are substantially more likely to die from getting COVID-19 than from getting flu.
