In the developing world, the coronavirus is killing far more young people. Fifteen percent of the dead in Brazil were younger than 50 — more than 10 times the percentage in Italy or Spain.

in fact, the correct way to read this statistic is not that it's killing more young people, but that it's killing less old people.

life expectancy in brazil is almost ten years less than it is in italy.

that statistical fail came from the washington post.
