How old is the average corona victim?
Here, too, the well-known picture of significantly fewer women than men and almost anyone with underlying medical problems. Since almost everywhere 65+ is maintained as the hazard zone, it was striking that women were more represented in the group below 65 than above. A second striking fact was both a 38 year old woman and a 53 year old ambulance brother had no underlying problems.
Of the 46 deceased, 18 were under 65. More than 1/3. Over 80 it turned out to be 9.
The largest group, 16 people, turned out to be between 60 and 69 years old.
The average age of the deceased was 62.7 years. Of course, with only 1/5 of the data, these are not certain facts, but it does show that Romania differs from countries such as the Netherlands and Italy in this case.
Part of the difference will certainly lie in the fact that life expectancy in Romania is significantly lower than, for example, in the Netherlands. On average, this is 81.3 years in the Netherlands and 75.01 in Romania. However, the difference of 6 years does not explain the difference of 18 years between the average age of death.
Een dag na aankomst voelde hij zich niet lekker, belde een locale arts en de rest is geschiedenis.
De gemiddelde levensverwachting bij ons, is iets lager dan die in NL: 77,87. Valt mij eerlijk gezegd nog mee, gezien de hoeveelheden vette zooi en zoetigheid die ik tot de lockdown jong en oud naar binnen zag werken: veelal weggespoeld met 'Fria': een locale frisdrank met zoveel suiker dat je tandglazuur al bijna springt door ernaar te kijken.
