Opinion | How the US should end the coronavirus lockdowns. By martinvars
I would like to end with some data on the COVID-19 mortality rate, mixing Imperial College estimates of those infected of COVID-19 with data obtained from the Spanish national health system, Sanidad, regarding COVID-19 deaths by age group.
Imperial College estimates that in a country like Spain for every diagnosed case, there are 50 undiagnosed cases of people who are asymptomatic or whose symptoms were not severe enough to get tested. This is reasonable because in Spain or Italy your symptoms have to be very severe to be tested. We can therefore estimate that the mortality of COVID-19 in Spain is much lower than headline statistics suggest for people under 45. It is also very low for those under 65 . And it is quite lethal for those 65 or over .
I imagine that when you read that the US should now consider a lockdown only of those over 45 and the rest should lead mostly normal lives while treating COVID-19 if sick you will think that I am exposing that younger population subgroup to tremendous danger.
