Less than 4%: In Dallas, there are 8477 confirmed cases of covid-19 and 207 deaths as of today. Of confirmed cases only 13% have been over age 60. Of the Deaths, 40% were in persons over age 85. 20% were i persons from age 60-80. If your father has any underlying health conditions: High Blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, chronic lung or heart disease or autoimmune problems his risk is higher.
