[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The data is interesting. Nursing homes: 4406 cases. 476 deaths Assuming people in nursing homes are over 60. Standard MD data. Over 60 year old cases: 6465. Deaths. 735 Remove the nursing home cases so people over 60 not in nursing homes. 2059. Deaths. 259 12% death rate. Super high. But what is weird is that suddenly the group over sixty only account for 10% of the cases. Maybe they don’t get out much or maybe they are more precautious. Who knows...[/quote] I'm not a math expert but I think what you're saying is that 22% of MD's cases are in nursing homes. 10% of cases are people 60+ NOT in a nursing home. So that is 32% of all cases. I think that sounds about right. You seem to think it is lower than expected? I think the cases are spread across age groups but the deaths are more concentrated in older people. [/quote]
