For that 44% number, what data set are you using?

I have been idly tracking the data here in WA. 90% of the deaths have been in 60+ years of age. Just ~30% percent of the cases. In that age range, the CFR is staggeringly high. I don't know the data for the numbers from nursing homes.

Sorry, forgot to mention it. These are the numbers from Italy's Istituto Superiore di Sanità.

No worries. Just curious if there was a global source for that.

From looking at the numbers, I can't help but think we really failed protecting the elder population.
