As you get about 50 years of age, that mortality rate climbs steeply to three times that of those in their 40's, with those in the 70's dying at 8% and everyone 80+, 14.8%.
The fact that nobody under 9 has died likely points to a cytokine storm caused by previous interactions with other corona viruses.
