The authors note that on page 22037, left column, fourth paragraph, second sentence, incorrect ratios were reported and the following text should have been deleted: "so the ratio of male to female COVID-19 death rates which is 1.44 from 35 to 54 y declines thereafter across 10-y age groups to 1.37, 1.34, 1.26, and finally 1.12 for 85+ y." Also on page 22037, right column, first paragraph, last sentence, "Despite the widespread reporting of higher COVID-19 mortality for males, the relative risk of males to females is actually lower for COVID-19 than for all-cause mortality in the United States in 2017 (7)" should instead read "Consistent with widespread reporting, the relative risk of males to females of COVID-19 is higher than for all-cause mortality in the United States in 2017 (7)".
