I'm not super good at reading these so it would help if someone could review this.

Review complete. The figure OP shared is not wrong but is missing some information. Namely, the data shown seems to be for the high income category. There is also similar data presented in the paper for low income, lower-middle, and upper-middle income levels. While the lower income levels show mortality rates between 5-10x higher than what is shown here, it is true that before age 50, there is essentially zero chance of a healthy person dying from this thing.

Thank you! That is interesting. Quite suspicious too. But even so, healthy people are still dying of this disease. That is kind of unexplained. Fact remains though, pandemic's inflated a lot.

How many other communicable diseases are there that have higher death rates?

OP, where did you get this specific figure from? Did you create it?
