In and of itself own, as quoted by OP, it’s not meaningful.

Sibling comment is thoughtful and helpful but adds information not present in OP’s statement (base rate).

Edit: ah, you are OP. Just swap “OP” for “you” :)

This is an overly literal, pedantic, and ungenerous interpretation of what I said.

Clearly the actual numbers as well as the base rates for the relevant groups are necessary to meaningfully interpret the statistic, but I was hinting at a similar case after describing the logic for the original case, not exhaustively describing the similar case.

Wasn’t my intention to be overly pedantic and certainly not ungenerous. I’m sorry.

You need to drink water to still be alive. You need to be alive to die from covid. Voila drinking water causes covid deaths.
