    I dig into some more CDC data, looking at the relation between flu and COVID-19 deaths by age. Is COVID-19 more infectious or dangerous to babies? Children? Adults? The elderly? Are more people of a certain age group dying from COVID-19 than from the flu?

    The punch line is that COVID-19 is showing only slightly more deaths for the elderly. That's it. Overall, the both infections affect age groups the same.


    Here is the data looked at.
