Figure 5. — Risk of intensive care unit (ICU) admission versus death due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The risks of ICU admission due to COVID-19 versus death due to COVID-19 are plotted for reported cases for categorical age ranges in Sweden (A) and the United States (B). Age categorization is plotted according to original data sources. Swedish data show a substantially higher likelihood of death than of ICU admission for patients aged >70 years (ratio <1.0). Red lines represent a risk ratio of 1; error bars, standard errors. Abbreviation: ND, no reported deaths.
