Age-stratified infection fatality rate (IFR) of COVID-19 in the non-elderly population
The largest burden of COVID-19 is carried by the elderly, and persons living in nursing homes are particularly vulnerable. However, 94% of the global population is younger than 70 years and 86% is younger than 60 years. The objective of this study was to accurately estimate the infection fatality rate (IFR) of COVID-19 among non-elderly people in the absence of vaccination or prior infection… we identified 40 eligible national seroprevalence studies covering 38 countries with pre-vaccination seroprevalence data…

Key numbers
| Age | IFR | Survival Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 0-19 | 0.0003% | 99.9997% |
| 20-29 | 0.002% | 99.998% |
| 30-39 | 0.011% | 99.989% |
| 40-49 | 0.035% | 99.965% |
| 50-59 | 0.123% | 99.877% |
| 60-69 | 0.506% | 99.494% |
The median IFR for kids is just 0.0003% so…
If your kid gets COVID, the risk is 3 in 1 million that your child will die from COVID. And that is likely an over-estimate because today all early treatment protocols are suppressed worldwide.
