In reply to: Maybe high school should include lessons in estimating...  posted by Kbyrnes


Using the same weights/math, but accounting for age…

A 65-74 year old has 6x and 95(!)x chance of hospitalization and death, respectively, as a 18-29 year old. So the result could be the young foregoing vaccination (at least for now). The young have an increased chance of symptoms from vaccination and a markedly decreased chance of Covid severe outcomes.
