I'd like to see the data broken out by comorbidities, vaccination status, etc. so we can understand the risks - is it mostly elderly? Immunocompromised? Unvaccinated? Diabetics? It would be useful to have a real assessment of my personal risk of dying at this point, and whether or not I should be alarmed. For instance, if it's mostly unvaccinated people, that's sad, but I'm basically a pincushion at this point so no worries.

Agreed, that would be useful knowledge. I'm sure there's a publicly available data set that has that information somewhere. But it's probably a case of knowing who to ask for the raw data and being willing to crunch your own numbers.
