I would never cancel my flight because of this. Unfortunately, I fell on ice and am in hospital so I am cancelling because of that. ����

That is the percentage of all deaths for the age group, not the mortality percentage.

Out of all the people who die from the flu, 48.7% of them are 65 and older. You don't have a 48.7% chance of dying from the flu if you are over 65.

First off, I haven't looked into any scientific facts.....

But by what you are saying, what are the ages of the other 38.8% of people that die from the flu? Your take on those numbers makes no sense.

[JaJodi]

Those numbers were from the CDC and were in response to a previous post that stated those types of numbers as the death rate. Go look up information for yourself. I removed my post as I am not an expert or doctor and I'm not going to explain it to people who don't understand the difference in the statistic. There are plenty of knowledgeable doctors and lots of valid information that you can find, I no longer feel the need or interest in posting on this further.

I was told a long time ago the figures lie and liars figure!

Per the Center for Disease Control and the South Korean equivalent - South Korea 66 deaths per 7,869 cases or 0.84% overall mortality rate. US 38 deaths per 1,358 cases or 2.80% overall mortality rate. The CDC has also estimated that 15,000 people in the US have died from the flu this season.

It is too early in this pandemic to claim exact mortality rates. There are too many variables in play right now to calculate.

What is known is this virus has a much higher mortality rate the older you are and is very contagious.

Italy has surpassed 1,000 deaths from the virus. Some say this is due to Italy having the oldest population on average in Europe.

I have three business trips within the US in the next 60 days and as of right now, I don't plan on cancelling these trips. However, if it comes to pass that I would be required to complete a mandatory quarantine because of the travel, then I would probably not travel.

Remember to cover and cough. Wash your hands thoroughly and often with hot water and soap.

Unfortunately, I have a job that can't be done from the comfort of my home.

Prayers for all those that are suffering tonight.

I am still planning on going to Negril - March 23. Only if the USA is included on the list - as the UK is now - would keep me away.
