    Document: The data that we have compiled nevertheless allow to estimate also absolute risks of death in the highest risk group, i.e. elderly individuals ≥80 years old in these 12 hot epicenters of the pandemic. These are markedly higher than the risks of death in individuals <65 years old. However, the absolute risk of death even in this highest age category to-date and even in these hot epicenters do not exceed 0.24% in any location and in most locations it is lower than 1 in a thousand.
