Two more victims under 50
The pandemic is being particularly fatal for the elderly. The figures for this Thursday are one more underline in the covid rule: of the 82 deaths, 50 (28 men and 22 women) were over 80 years old, which corresponds to 61% of the national daily total.
Unsurprisingly, the immediately preceding age group, 70-79 years, lost an additional 25 lives (14 men and 11 women), to a cumulative 850 deaths in this age group.
The divergence of numbers, this Thursday, is a little greater. There are two deaths, a man and a woman, between 40 and 49 years old. The proof that SARS-CoV-2 does not kill only the elderly are the 39 people in this age group who have already lost their lives from causes associated with Covid-19.
The immediately higher age group, 50-59 years, recorded the loss of one life, a man, while the group of 60-69 recorded four more deaths (three men and one woman).
