evidence: The absolute risk of dying from Covid-19 per million population (assuming Covid-19 deaths reach 225,000) already has been reported by Avik Roy here for all of the age categories shown in Fig. 1. That measure is extremely useful in seeing how dramatically the risk rises with age, but a) it is a figure that will keep rising along with the number of Covid-19 deaths; b) most Americans might not know how to interpret the figures without some reference of comparison. [...] Probability of Dying from Covid-19 [...] In contrast 54,000 micromorts is roughly 1.5 times as high as the risk of dying while climbing Mt. Everest. Few Americans would voluntarily undertake any activity for which the risk of dying exceeded five percent. The average person age 70 or greater already faces nearly a four percent risk of death from other causes. Getting infected with Covid-19 multiplies this baseline fatality risk by 140 percent! In contrast, someone under 20 years old who gets Covid only increases their baseline risk of death by six percent.
