> Among the first 4,226 cases in the U.S., more than half of patients who were hospitalized were under the age of 65, and one in five were aged 20 to 44.
No source on ventilators but "hospitalized" is close enough.
- DeonPenny 7y agoThis seems to be one of those lies that keep getting circulated. 44 is not young. when you really look at the data yes 1/5 are hospitalized, but if you 40-50 you are .4% likely to die if your 30-40 it's 4 times less likely .1% and if your 20 -30 its ten times less likely. Its like they presented the data that way just to scare people.
