Less than 0.2% of Covid-19 deaths in the United States have been among
children, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Children account for about one in five (22%) people in the US population
overall, but about one in every 645 Covid-19 deaths and one in every six
Covid-19 cases since the start of the pandemic.
There have been about 1,100 deaths and about 8.3 million cases among
children, according to CDC data.
More than three-quarters of Covid-19 deaths have been among seniors,
including more than a quarter that have been among people age 85 and older.
There have been more than 200,000 Covid-19 deaths among people age 85 and
older, who represent about 2% of the US population overall, CDC data shows.
Comparatively, there have been less than 400 Covid-19 deaths among children
under 5, who represent about 6% of the US population overall. | d*******y
