Tl;dr of a dutch article[1]: In the Netherlands there are between 40-50 covid-19 patients in ICU in critical condition. Over half of them are younger than 50. (Youngest is 16yo) Mortality is much higher for the older group, but hospitalisation happens a lot in the younger age group as well. Obesity is a high-risk factor. A comment in the reddit post[2] which discusses that article notes that in China the 15-49 age group made up 41% of severe/critical cases. (The below 50 age group accounts for a bigger part of the population to be sure. I see no data for hospital admission rate as fraction of the age group.)
