I suspect that if you sliced the data by say, BMI, you might see a similar distribution. Same for other co-morbidities. Need to see other distributions to rule out other potentially important factors.

Except that a large number of these deaths were in nursing homes or similar facilities where spreading occurred among the oldest and most vulnerable.

Same for Washington, and we were the point of the spear, so we are waaaay past the peak back in late March. See the over age 80 = 58%https://www.doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/Coronavirus …
