Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson · 1/ Okay, 11 am. Breaking news: it is almost certain more people over 100 have died of #COVID worldwide than under 30 - and more over 90 than under 50. Try to wrap your head around that. We have shut the world for a virus that has killed more CENTENARIANS than people under 30...
2/ How do I know? Well, in general, countries don’t track much data by age on the deaths of people over 85. But some states have reported actual ages; in Florida, 2 of 419 COVID deaths are in people over 100. Here’s Dutch data, which does include a 95+ category...
3/ And Italian and UK and US (the UK and US are a bit older, but you get the idea). The greatest risk BY FAR of dying from #SARS_COV_2 is advanced age - this is why developing countries seem to have avoided any crisis. Remind me again why we’ve blown up the world?

How would you protect 33% of the population (the elderly and the younger who are at risk)? That’s logistically impossible. You can’t isolate them from the rest.
Thanks for the information!
Wish I had more time to do the conversion, because I think it’s pretty important.
According to the NY data, most of those who died under 50 had comorbidities.
Those are confirmed positive cases, not deaths. 80% of those hospitalized are above 50 according to the PA website.
I will have to research to see if there is a breakdown by age of the 494 deaths reported on the official PA website. I would assume that almost all the deaths come from those hospitalized.
First, it appears that the “younger” are at very low risk. If you look at the NY data, there was only one death 0 to 9 years old; 5 deaths between 10-19: 39 deaths 20-29; 138 deaths 30-39; and 325 deaths 40-49. TheY represent combined 6.5% of the total 7,488 deaths. The other 93.5% were 50 and older. There is no reason to isolate younger people.
The most vulnerable population is the elderly. In NY 63.8% of the fatalities came from those 70 and older. I would not “isolate” them, but rather advocate protective measures when interacting socially, more controls/monitoring over nursing homes and assisted living facilities, and a more circumscribed lifestyle until therapeutics and a vaccine are available.
Trump and his task force say that the timing of reopening our economy will be data driven. Berenson has highlighted an important piece of data available from official government sources, federal and state, that should be considered. Do we reopen by region? Is there a metric that would allow us to do it in a more targeted way?
The MSM and their allies in Deep State and DNC have succeeded in terrifying the public to the point that they accept absolute control over every facet of their lives. The data show that the CV is not a mortal threat to the public. More than 98% who get it will survive. And the number will be higher than that once we can get a more reliable number of asymptomatic cases thru antibody tests. The greatest threat is to those over 70. There are ways to protect that part of the population without shutting down the economy.
“Wish I had more time to do the conversion”
Went to the link. I don’t have time (i.e. am too lazy) to factor in the per-capita data.
Anyway, we’ll have much more data related to Corona in the months ahead.
No, we have data that show the number of deaths by age group. What difference would per capita make in interpreting the data, i.e., the extremely disproportionate mortality rates for the virus by age?
In my post # I provided the link to the official NY website listing the fatality data. Information is provided on fatalities by county, race, sex, comorbidity factors by age, and age. You have an entire state of almost 20 million people that has one-third of the total confirmed cases in the US and 40% of the deaths. The demographic profile of deaths is similar to NJ and MI.
These data are not meaningless.
.
What percentage (demographic chart from someone) actuall are over 100 ???
I dont really doubt it that this is accurate
More surprising is the under 30s (compared to that ‘over-100’ small number) versus the rest of the population is so very small.
.
In age demographics: 6.5% of New York’s population were under 5 years of age, 24.7% under 18, and 12.9% were 65 or older.
“...93.5% of all deaths come from those age 50 and older. “

“These data are not meaningless”
Ok the data isn’t meaningless but per capita data would give better insight.
What do you want to measure per capita?
“What do you want to measure per capita?”
The per capita number of people in various age groups with corona, or hospitalized, or have died.
