Yup, you probably only have to look at the counts of infected tourists coming back. In Norway that is 89 from Italy, and 112 from Austria (25% of the total infected as of writing...)

That is pretty high risk and irresponsible - imagine traveling to the US without travel insurance and you could be on the hook for 100s of thousands USD for a small hospital visit! Travel insurance is usually quite cheap, about 100-150 EUR

Would be interesting to see the normal yearly death rate of these age groups. Is Corona just advancing natural death rates for the old people (i.e. bringing forward by a few months), or do more old people die?
