Most of the info I've seen on this suggest that the young aren't particularly susceptible to the virus.

- earthtourist 7y agoYeah, that is exciting, we should all hope it turns out to be accurate. But by young, I just mean people age <60, not children. If 10% of the fatalities are people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s, that could be hundreds of thousands of people.
- gwright 7y agoI see what you are saying now. Wasn't clear from your earlier comment. I hope that the mortality rate turns out to be lower than it appears at the moment (i.e. an undercount of infected people).
