Joseph P Dudley et al. Clin Infect Dis. .

Abstract

We analyzed age-/sex-specific morbidity and mortality data from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in China and Republic of Korea (ROK). Data from China exhibit a Gaussian distribution with peak morbidity in the 50-59-year cohort, while the ROK data have a bimodal distribution with the highest morbidity in the 20-29-year cohort.

Keywords: China; Korea; SARS-CoV-2; age-specific; confirmed cases.
