Thank you for the CDC data. This is a very handy chart. I'm pleased to see that the case and death rates have dropped a lot, in aggregate, and all age cohorts. This is tremendous good news for society, it seems this is behind us now. This would seem logical, considering we are at or approaching saturation point for jabby rollout.

Let's break down the data dear metacanada forum: Flipping the chart to 'deaths per 100K' from "cases" at it's peak in aggregate - Aug 21/21. Non jabby 13.92 vs jabbed 1.03, a large difference in death rate of 14x.

Oct 30 21, Last date avail- 4.98 vs. 0.38 A big drop.

Next up, the least likely to die, & the most, children up to 17, and elderly 80+. Children peak, sept 11, 2021 (odd coincidence on the date) 0.44 non jab, 0 jabbed. Oct 30th, 0.02 non jab, and oddly jabbed exactly the same risk of dying 0.02. (why the rise? Why bother getting jabby at all?)

80+ Peak Aug 21, non jabby 64.88 vs jabbed 13.43 30th oct latest, non jabby 28.7 vs jabbed 5.3

The rates of death per 100K has fallen a lot since peak on the non jabby, one can only speculate as to why, for eg, natural herd immunity incidnce being larger, the evolution of the pathogen being driven to a less virulent mutation (apparently omicron being nigh on harmless according to South African docs), or perhaps growing pre hospitalisation intervention through the use of doctor supervised Ivermectin, HCQ, Budesinide, or even patient OTC self administration of anti histamines such as Bendryl or Periactin. The charts do not appear to have a way to factor in recorded average comorbidity or the deaths. The charts don't go back to 2020, so perhaps the CFR/IFR was higher and probability of death was higher.

Pulling back to a 35,000ft view in perspective of what the charts really mean, and putting it into a more probability relateable slant. IOW, based on who's died at what rate before, How likely are YOU going to die from this?

Aggregate peak Aug 21/21 on average, non jabby 0.01% died vs jabby, 0.001%. 99.98% survived non jab, vs 99.998%. So, 10x the probability of dying. However, when survival is already at 99.98% Id wager many would shrug and take their chances, especially if they are a younger cohort.

At that probability, even at peak, people have a nearly 10x higher chance of dying of septicemia, 0.9%. ( https://discovertheodds.com/what-are-the-odds-of-dying-of/ )

But lets go nuts, and say, for arguments sake that everyone has the same chance of dying as our most senior cohort sans pokey. At peak even. 0.06%, 99.94% survived.

Turning to the latest numbers from the CDC, the news is even more optimistic- 30th Oct in aggregate, non jab 0.004% 99.996% Survived, jabbed 0.0003% 99.9997% survived.

Now to the least risk group, although at this point, saying 'risk' seems a bit silly- Children up to 17, non jab 0.00001% chance of dying, vs jab, the exact same chance or a 99.99998% chance of surviving. I posit we can safely say, those are great odds for the kids.

Everyone else no matter what age is going to be somewhere in the middle.

2022, and after 2 long years, it's over. Thank god. Now isn't that something to be happy about in the new year folks? Cheers! Ill raise a glass to that.
