Whoever was showing no deaths for young women
Well the statistics in my post were based on 6801 deaths and is quite outdated since the total of deaths in Italy is 10,023. But nevertheless I think it was worth posting it.
I know I've posted two, so they won't be the only ones.
As I pointed out to someone not on this forum, at the present rate of deaths of young people, we will see 1.25 - 1.5 million people in their 20s die of Covid-19 if we don't stop it.
Australia's numbers today.
Still don't make sense, dammit!
Aussie, Japan and Hawaii have had a very relaxed attitude to the virus, and are still allowing semi-public activity, yet aren't seeing the numbers increasing as they have elsewhere.
It's eating my brain trying to figure it out, because they're three very diverse populations.
I am puzzled by the figures I see for infection rates and death rates in different countries. The longer the infection has been present in the body the greater chance of death for example. Another reason could be better medical help in the USA. I would be skeptical about this but have little to no knowledge of it.
As you see, it puzzles the hell out of me, too.
Germany is another good case in point - high infection numbers but low mortality, although they are approaching 1% pretty fast.

Maybe wishful thinking, but the logarithmic curve looks to me as though it's showing signs of flattening out, which would be excellent news.
If we can keep total cases to under 2 million, then help developing nations not keep lively reservoirs of it, there's a small chance we could be more or less clear of it within 3 months. Then play hammer & dance until a vaccine gets brought on.
