Thank you, Celvin11 :applause:

What we see in Germany is a quite different distribution by age group regarding the H1N1 influenza cases (peak 15-19 yr) and the H1N1 fatalities (peak 40-59 yr), respectively.

Re: Germany: age distribution of H1N1 deaths

mean ? median ?
other countries give other age-groups, so hard to compare
