So, the CDC provisional mortality statistics show covid mortality doubling for the working age group and dropping 28% for the 85+ year old group? Wait, what? That’s not spose to happen. The old folks are the vulnerable group and their covid mortality rate should rise and fall in line with the working age mortality rate.
