The average age of the patients who died from COVID-19 in May was 64 years old, according to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner.

Out of the individuals who died from COVID-19 in May, nine of them, or 50.0 percent, had at least one other medical complication.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children's Hospital Association stated that in the United States, children represent about 9% of all COVID-19 cases. The Mayo Clinic points out that kids of all ages can contract COVID-19 but most don’t become as sick as adults and some show no symptoms at all.

Figures are accurate as of May 12.
