(Can just give you the snippet facts I remember:)

It spikes to about a 5x yearly mortality multiplier for those between 50-60, diminishing a bit as you near 80+ (since their natural mortality rate was already high - about 12%(?)).

20-30 year olds have about a 2x multiplier. You're twice as likely to die this year if you get coronavirus.
