As it has been doing daily, Northampton County has continued to track Covid-19 related deaths occurring within the county's borders, based on information provided by Coroner Zach Lysek. As of today, the death toll is 30. Executive Lamont McClure suggests, as I have been doing for the past several days, that we are finally peaking. " We are very near the time when our infections are supposed to peak. This is not a time to be complacent."
Deaeh Details: The municipalities in which the 30 deceased lived are as follows: Forks Twp. (1); Lower Nazareth Twp. (2): Bangor Boro (1); Palmer Twp. (8); Upper Nazareth Twp. (4); Williams Twp. (1); Nazareth Boro (1); Bethlehem Twp (7); City of Bethlehem (1); Washington Twp (1); Phillipsburg, NJ (1); and Bronx, NY (1).
Their average age was 79.3.
Gender of the Deceased: 60% Female/40% Male
Race of the Deceased: 73% White, 16% African American, 3% Asian or Pacific Islander, 10% Hispanic.

Dear Editor: those numbers do not add up to 100%. You may wish to edit to reflect the correct percentages. Thank you for your excellent local reporting, stay safe.
They don't the "35" in Asian should have been 3%. My mistake, and corrected.
So the average life expectancy in the US in 2019 was 78.87 years. Then the average age at death of a person with the virus in Northampton County of 79.3 was actually older than that!
