" ... But a population-based perspective says nothing about the likelihood of dying among those who actually get infected. From the pandemic’s inception, we have known that the risk of dying increases with age. The new CDC figures reveal just how steep that age-risk curve is. Indeed, the risk of dying for children is so tiny—in percentage terms—that it is easier to graph the relationship using micromorts. A micromort equals one chance in a million of dying. Thus a one percent chance of dying is equivalent to 10,000 micromorts. ... "
" ... But taking a one in a million chance of death is far more consequential for a 5-year-old with perhaps 70 or more years of life expectancy ahead, compared to an 80-year-old with only seven additional years. So micromorts are quite useful for one individual assessing the personal consequences of an array of risks (since that individual’s own life expectancy will be shortened by the same amount regardless of how that fatality is caused). But they are less useful in comparing risks across populations, especially ones that vary greatly in age or life expectancy. ... "
" ... The balance is very, very, very good. We can borrow a term from risk analysis and say that 1 mile of driving generates 0.1 “micromorts” of risk around the world. A micromort is a 1 in a million risk of fatality. In the USA, the number is better than the global average — about 0.013 micromorts per mile. ... "
