Average death age is still way up there. But the number of people dying towards the end of the chart is getting to be a smaller sample size, so that'll cause a larger variance
We did not test enough in the first wave to know how many people had it. The death rate is a larger indicator than test rate for the first wave.
My opinion is:
The press can get fucked. Twisting words of "we don't know" into "could be more deadly for young people" and "can possibly reinfect" is just fear mongering.
