Default Numbers (from State of NH - quick link)

https://www.dhhs.nh.gov/dphs/cdcs/co...t-04272020.pdf

These numbers are from April 27 -- the last update on the State's website. I'm sure an update is coming in the next few days.

My point in posting this is to recommend you look at the ages of those who pass away and the percentage of the total deaths attributed to the virus as most are OVER 80 years old:

58.3% are over 80 years old
20% are 70-79
15% are 60-69
0 people died between 50-59
5% between 40-49
1.7% between 20-29

Of note:
0 deaths in Belknap County
Nobody has died from Covid between the ages of 0-19, 30-39, 50-59.

As mentioned I assume an update will come in the next day or two and the % of overall deaths will likely continue to be 60+ and most at 80+.

If you're in that age group then obviously protect yourselves however you see fit - but it's going to be up to you from here on out to protect yourself as we reopen and finally allow people to start working and living again.
