Hundreds of young people have already died of COVID-19 in the U.S.

38 % of 20-54 with it hospitalized

have read posts from younger CFers that say virus will not affect them but it could

True. Just because you're young doesn't mean you are healthy. When I was young I was in miserable health from drinking, smoking, lack of sleep and rest, bad diet, overworking, etc. I caught everything that was going around, and it really laid me low. Since I quit all that stuff I don't get sick at all (not that I haven't had some unrelated health issues however).

I saw a chart showing few people in their 20’s required hospitalization. 30’s and up needed some hospitalizations, especially with obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, COPD etc.

70% of deaths were in people over 70

Up to 20% of people testing positive required hospitalization. Hospitalization is expensive.
