#' Estimate Covid2019 outcome probabilities for a population given its age
#' distribution, and age-severity estimates from Brazeau al. (2020)

#' @description
#' Estimate Covid19 outcome probabilities (death|infection), using
#' age-severity estimates from Brazeau al. (2020), and the population age
#' distribution for a given country, either taken from the UN World Population
#' Prospects 2019 (WPP2019) or directly supplied by the user.
#'
#' @param x Either an ISO3 country code used to extract age-specific population
#' estimates from the UN World Population Prospects 2019 dataset, \emph{or}, a
#' data.frame containing age categories in the first column and population
#' counts (or proportions) in the second column
#' @param p_type Outcome to estimate ("p_dead_inf" (default) or "p_dead_inf_serorev")
#' @param p_stat Statistic of the severity estimates to use (either "mean",
#' "low_95", or "up_95")
#'
#' @return
#' Estimated outcome probability (scalar)
