With how skewed this is to older population, it really is tough to just look at populations as a whole. NYC had more people over sixty than Seattle has people.

It is odd. This is far far more dangerous than a flu if you are older than sixty. More than just looking at population level IFR implies. Not so clear cut off you are under sixty. Simply put, we don't have the data to say.

I fully agree that we don't want the data the hard way.
