    Snippet: Age also affects disease progression [7] [8] [9] [10] and mortality risk [11] [12] [13] among those infected. The proportion of infections that eventually progress to severe disease, critical disease, or death, increases rapidly with age, especially among those ≥50 years of age (Supplementary Figure S2 ) [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] .

    Document: Age also affects disease progression [7] [8] [9] [10] and mortality risk [11] [12] [13] among those infected. The proportion of infections that eventually progress to severe disease, critical disease, or death, increases rapidly with age, especially among those ≥50 years of age (Supplementary Figure S2 ) [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] . Since the demographic structure of the population (that is the distribution of the population across the different age groups) varies by country and region, this poses a question as 4 to the extent to which age effects can drive geographic differentials in the reproduction number ( 0 R ), epidemic potential, and rates of disease severity and mortality.
