What are the odds of dying from COVID-19 by age group? I will review the odds of dying if you are young, middle-aged or elderly. Graphs that predict the likelihood of death by age are presented. I will discuss a recent meta-analysis using numerous recent antibody studies that takes a look at the COVID fatality rate by age if you get the coronavirus. There is also some new data in regards to coronavirus death rates versus age versus other risk factors. My patients want to know the infection fatality rate which is the likelihood of dying if you acquire the virus. Specifically they ask me “with my risk factors and age Dr. Moran, will I die from the coronavirus if I get it?”.

The novel coronavirus, also called SARS-CoV-2, has caused the coronavirus pandemic throughout the world. Infection can vary from no symptoms to severe symptoms and death depending upon age and comorbidities. Remember the healthier you are more likely you will overcome any disease including COVID-19. Diet, exercise, sleep, reducing stress, avoiding unnecessary social contacts and masking when appropriate are the best ways of protecting yourself against this illness.
