    Snippet: pandemic shows that non-elderly people <65 years old represent a very small fraction (5-9%) of all COVID-19 deaths in European countries and less than a third of all COVID-19 deaths in 4 US locations, even though this age group represents the vast majority of the general population. The risk of death is 13to 73-fold lower in non-elderly people <65 years old than in older individuals. The age-dependent risk gradient is modestly sharper in European.....
    Document: pandemic shows that non-elderly people <65 years old represent a very small fraction (5-9%) of all COVID-19 deaths in European countries and less than a third of all COVID-19 deaths in 4 US locations, even though this age group represents the vast majority of the general population. The risk of death is 13to 73-fold lower in non-elderly people <65 years old than in older individuals. The age-dependent risk gradient is modestly sharper in European countries versus the US locations. Regardless, the absolute risk of death in the non-elderly population is consistently very low even in these pandemic hotbeds. As of April 4, only 1.7 to 79 per million people in this age group have died with a COVID-19 diagnosis.
