"We report the epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and radiological characteristics, treatment, and clinical outcomes of 41 laboratory-confirmed cases infected with 2019-nCoV. The median age of patients was 49·0 years (IQR 41·0–58·0), and 13 (32%) patients had underlying disease. All patients had pneumonia. A third of patients were admitted to intensive care units, and six died."
Looking at Fig 1 one-third of patients in the 25-49 age group needed intensive care. Maybe the were all above 40, but anyway I don't think that looks like the usual influenza-related pneumonia.
