Another way to look at it: ~700,000 people under 65 die in the US each year.


Or ~240,000K each month in total (across all demographics)

(~8000/day)


I can't find hospitalizations broken out by underlying illnesses, but if among each age bracket we assume the % of deaths associated with underlying illness holds as the % of hospitalizations associated with underlying illness, then we get a "healthy under 65" Hospitalization Rate of 0.3% to 0.5%.

Under 65:

7.4M people

1.55M infected

26,000 hospitalizations

4,548 "healthy" hospitalizations (16% of deaths under 65 have no comorbidities. Using same rate here).

800k-1.2M infected w/o comorbidities depending on "healthy rate"

4,548 / 1M = 0.45%


Good point. I was assuming using the rate per capita would be best case, but you're right, you'd also need underlying illness rates. I think the point stands though, that hospitalization rates for otherwise healthy patients under 65 is an order of magnitude higher than their mortality rate.



Assume you mean who "do" have comorbidities?


I did!


NYC's data defines underlying illness as "disease, asthma, heart disease, a weakened immune system, obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease and cancer."

As I point out in the thread, even estimating 50% of people under 65 have an underlying illness (lets say thats 25% under 17, 50% 18-44, and 75% in 45-64 to roughly get us there) moves the "Under 65 healthy IFR" only up to 0.09%.

The switch to Bing may have some negative impact on google, but I doubt Apple's alternatives will take any toll on google maps or docs.


Yeah. iCloud.com is a joke. They are using a native-esque UI/UX in the web browser and it just doesn't work. Until something drastic changes at Apple, Google will forever have superior web services.


straight off the parse blog:

> Q: Will Parse apps have to use Facebook functionality? No.


Promises made just post acquisition have historically had a low correlation with future events.


Unfortunately that could change in a moment's notice in the future :(
