The table below breaks down the CDC’s number of deaths into age groups for the week of June 6th. Please notice the risk of death. I have taken the number of people living in America and divided the number of people who died during the week. I, in no way, am diminishing the tragedy of the loss of life. However, I think it may be good news to hear that the highest risk group of 85-year-olds and above had a risk of 1 in 2.4 million of dying from Covid-19 during the week. If you are 24 or younger, there was zero risk of a Covid related death.

I think this information is hopeful, that is why I am sharing it. We should all continue to do what is safe, not just for the pandemic, but for every aspect of our health. Proper sleep, movement, nutrition, and stress management are all very important to maintain healthy immune systems. For more information on how to stay healthy, click here.
