Good point.

It’s important to note that all the risks quoted are the average (mean) risks for people of the relevant age, but are not the risks of the average person! This is because, both for COVID and in normal circumstances, much of the risk is held by people whom are already chronically ill. So for the large majority of healthy people, their risks of either dying from COVID, or dying of something else, are much lower than those quoted here. Although of course for every death there will be others who are seriously ill.

Also, as Triggle points out, there will be substantial overlap in these two groups — many people who die of COVID would have died anyway within a short period — and so these risks cannot be simply added, and it does not simply double the risk of people who get infected. It is crucially important that the NHS is not overwhelmed, but if COVID deaths can be kept in the order of say 20,000 by stringent suppression measures, as is now being suggested, there may end up being a minimal impact on overall mortality for 2020 (although background mortality could increase due to pressures on the health services and the side-effects of isolation). Although, as we are seeing, at vast cost.

BALTIMORE, MD—A new study by Johns Hopkins University found that the novel coronavirus is impacting men and women more than all the other genders combined.

According to the study, 100% of coronavirus cases have affected men and women and not a single other gender.

"It's incredible - we've found this virus is far more likely to affect biological males and biological females than any other biological gender," said Head of Gender Research Dr. Benji Charmin. "We thought the data had to be flawed, but we checked again and again, and sure enough, this thing is aggressively going after men and women and ignoring the other genders entirely."

He shrugged. "It's just science."

Progressives quickly applauded the virus for not attacking any of the other genders and only focusing on traditional, outdated, binary genders.

Rats swarm New Orleans' streets as coronavirus precautions leave them empty

With restaurants closed save for take-out service, far less food waste is being discarded in the city's alleyways, driving the local rodent population out into the open to search for scraps.

Interesting the exact inversion. Malaria likes the heat around the equator, CV the cold.

Try google data sources. They unified them into 1.

Mell,

Where do you get your numbers from? According to Worldometers.com, we have 110 new cases in CA today, which is fantastic. Looks like we may have turned the corner, which is going up at a decelerating rate.

They do have now and yesterday button for comparison. Just write it down to track 3 days or more.

This site resets at 0:00 GMT but is constantly updated so the real reset happens around 7 pm PST. If you only see a few cases it means the counting for the day has just started and/or a few cases were carried over. 110 would be fantastic but it's currently around 750-800 per day. Check back tomorrow around 6 pm PST to get close to the final tally for the day. We had well over a 1000 new cases 3 days ago so 758 for yesterday is pretty good. Let's hope this trend of lower/flat new infections continues.
