As with many viruses, a main topic of concern that has arisen during the COVID-19 pandemic is the nature of the virus spread and the impact it presents for varying age groups. Using statistical methods and numerical summaries, I analysed the impact that age has on the incubation period, death rates, and case outcomes of COVID-19 cases in the city of Toronto. The results of this study illustrate that the elderly have shorter incubation periods, higher death rates, and a higher count of cases which result in fatality. The analysis concludes that the impact of COVID-19 is most felt by the elderly.
