It's not just the elderly who will die if the system is overwhelmed. Nearly 40% of those that are sick enough to require hospital care are between the ages of 20 and 64[1]. If everyone is getting it at the same time and there's not enough health care to go around, those 20-64 year olds will be dying too.
- fiftyfifty 7y agoExactly. As of March 18th in Italy 8.3% of healthcare workers are infected and several older doctors have already died. That's bad for everyone in all age groups.
