INSANE that they don't break that up further, because as soon as you remove the 40 - 60 age range it becomes so tiny it isn't even worth mentioning.
And that includes the rampant over-reporting of Covid as cause of death worldwide...so the reality is even lower.
Add onto the fact that at this point, everyone has already been infected with (a much weaker version of) COVID and consequently the natural immunity drops the already near-zero IFR even lower.
Is Omicron weaker than the Alpha variant, or just weaker than Delta?
Weaker than both and Omicron was since the beginning of last year, so we're 2-3 variants removed from it by now.
