Counting Cases and Deaths by Age Tells Us About COVID-19’s Infectious and Lethal Components

2023-01-07

Abstract excerpt

Gauging COVID-19’s lethality , and how vaccination can reduce that lethality , has been challenging. Here, a new method, Gompertzian Analysis , counting cases and deaths, by age, and displaying them on logarithmic graphs, is outlined, and its first findings presented: FIRST, COVID-19 Gompertzian Lethality (Deaths/Cases) exhibits an ~10,000-fold exponential increase in the chance of death with age, the Gompertzian...
