From the link you cited, <<They said 38% of the victims did not have preexisting health conditions.>> The number seems to indicate a state worse than in the general population, and if valid, am going to attribute to work stress / immunity bias, iow, the productive are being taken down, or something else going on bears watching Most 81-90 would have preexisting conditions, so the 38% unlikely to be part of the 31%. Ditto for 71-80 and 61-70. But 38% cannot have all be part of the 8% + 15%, mathematically. << Officials released some demographic information about those who died. They said 38% of the victims did not have preexisting health conditions. Age breakdown of victims: Age 40-50: 8% Age 51-60: 15% Age 61-70: 31% Age 71-80: 15% Age 81-90: 31%>>

I am actually thinking Modi made a mistake. At an average age of 26 in India and 6.2% of the population being over 65, and India being a tropical country, Modi should have let the virus run. Lets say half those over 65 get the virus and 10% die: 0.3% of the population. In Italy last time I looked no healthy women between 40-50 had died and there were 45 men. The likely reality is these men had cardiovascular disease as heart attacks are not uncommon in men in their 30s and 40s. I think the death rate from MI's in young men in Italy will plunge in the next couple years as we sped up the process I suspect this is a good part of the difference between men and women death rates. I am a physician on the medical unit of a psychiatric hospital where 25% percent of our patients go out weekly for dialysis and other medical issues. We will be keeping our COVID 19 + in house unless in medical distress and depending on the situation may even be keeping those in distress. The more I read the more I see this as an old or medically frail persons problem being brought to them by the young. A well planned system should get the death rate below 1%. Hopefully only 40% get the illness in a worse case scenario Countries like India should protect the old and let it run its course.
