[Hidden-tech] Excel or Google Sheets Expert? For Covid Risk Calculator, and other work.

One would definitely need more context and data.  People in general are bad at risk ( what if you had a 9% or even 1% chance of dying every time you drove anywhere?!). 
  I would think the concern for most folks is: do *I* get anything severe?  sure death is bad but long-hauling doesn't seem fun either.  Some folks might even wonder: do I give anyone in my family anything severe?  Actual community minded folks might even say: Do I increase the prevalence of suffering in my community/region/state etc...?
If 9% of everyone 65+ died, we'd have bodies stacked everywhere.  [or watch India in the next month I guess :(  ]
"Individual Risk" nicely assumes we are not connected.

  Hi All,
I’ve long thought the public should have a Covid risk calculator in which one could enter or click their age and comorbidities to get a probability of hospitalization, critical care, and death upon infection. Given the year plus of official date now, it should be relatively easy to make a one that accurately reflects official data. For example, the CDC recently updated their “survival rates by age” behind which they provide more detailed data then this CDC summary::

0-17:       99.997%18-49:     99.95%50-64:     99.4%65+:        91%

Backing out all comorbidities makes risks dramatically lower than the above. For example, the CDC reports that 78% of deaths come from the overweight and obese cohort.Many people would like to know their individual risk.
You would think our governments would provide this, but I could find nothing of the sort. This Github project may be it, but if it is a spreadsheet, my upload to Google Sheets didn’t make it work; perhaps it would work on Excel.https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/tree/master/csse_covid_19_data .
For anyone who could handle the above, I have other Google Sheet work for my firm I’d pay for.

Take Care,
