    Based on all 72,314 cases of COVID-19 confirmed, suspected, and asymptomatic cases in China as of February 11, a paper by the Chinese CCDC released on February 17 and published in the Chinese Journal of Epidemiology [1] has found that the risk of death increases the older you are, as follows:

    COVID-19 Fatality Rate by AGE:
    *Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on the age group. The percentage shown below does NOT represent in any way the share of deaths by age group. Rather, it represents, for a person in a given age group, the risk of dying if infected with COVID-19.

    AGE DEATH RATE*
    80+ years old 14.8%

    70-79 years old 8.0%

    60-69 years old 3.6%

    50-59 years old 1.3%

    40-49 years old 0.4%

    30-39 years old 0.2%

    20-29 years old 0.2%

    10-19 years old 0.2%

    0-9 years old no fatalities
