    Snippet: While deaths occur more frequently at the higher ages, there are differences both in the observed age-distribution and in the estimated counterfactual distribution ( Figure 1 ). Deaths in China occur at slightly younger ages than in Europe and are split slightly more evenly across the older ages with 30% of deaths in age bands 60-69 and 70-79 and 20% of deaths at ages above 80. Above age 80, the proportion of deaths is 50% , 58% , 59% and 59% fo.....
    Document: While deaths occur more frequently at the higher ages, there are differences both in the observed age-distribution and in the estimated counterfactual distribution ( Figure 1 ). Deaths in China occur at slightly younger ages than in Europe and are split slightly more evenly across the older ages with 30% of deaths in age bands 60-69 and 70-79 and 20% of deaths at ages above 80. Above age 80, the proportion of deaths is 50% , 58% , 59% and 59% for Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and France respectively. These differences between the countries persist after adjustment for age-structure.
