BAG COVID Figures 1 Attachment(s) I am fascinated by patterns and peculiarities in the BAG COVID figures published daily by SRF, and am interested in hearing other's views. https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/coro...in-der-schweiz A brief summary of the tables and patterns: (1) Hospital admissions
(2) Deaths
The patterns in the deaths and hospital admissions tables appear similar. However things look different in the New Infections data: (3)New Infections
Some passing thoughts and questions:

Re: BAG COVID Figures Under 20s and particularly under 9s is easy - there is very little testing. Over 80s I would guess is due to intensive testing (understandable given the risks) but I haven’t checked this. Probably also that these are most represented in care homes which I know are riddled with covid. 70s are probably the best at isolating. |

The most affected age group in the second wave is 80+, this is why you see that from 9.11.20 the numbers of new infections for this age group are the highest. This is because people in this age group die from Covid the most, and because of this they are tested the most and have contributed to the new infections stats the most. If you look at the new infections and admissions by date, there is a slow decline for all age groups from mid-November until now. I think this shows that the actual second wave Covid spread is slowly going down. This cannot be seen in the numbers of total deaths yet, because these numbers overlap with other reasons of deaths (usually during the winter more deaths are expected, for reasons not related to Covid). |
Re: BAG COVID Figures The infections peaks for people in their 20s probably because many are studying, living together in the dorms. And if working at this age, then probably they are more likely to have a job which requires presence on site and not the home office. |
