Document: Another interesting observation is the higher share of deaths in the <65 years old group in New York City, Louisiana, and Michigan as opposed to the 8 European countries and Washington state. This requires further investigation, but it may reflect unfavorable socioeconomic circumstances for victims of COVID-19 in New York City, Louisiana and Michigan. It is important to study in more detail the socioeconomic profile of the COVID-19 victims, but preliminary data show that deaths cluster in areas with high levels of poverty and underprivileged populations. If this early observation gets validated, this may signify that COVID-19 is yet another disease with a profile dependent on inequalities. Of interest, influenza deaths seem to have a similar difference in age distribution between the USA and European countries like Italy: a larger proportion of influenza deaths in the USA tend to be in the <65 age group, 26 as compared with Italy. 27 Of course, a major difference between influenza and COVID-19 is that the latter does not cause deaths in children, in contrast to influenza.
