More Bad News (March, how much, good news, states)

Younger adults are large percentage of coronavirus hospitalizations in United States, according to new CDC data

Many younger people have been nonchalant about the COVID-19 virus because they thought it wouldn't affect them harshly. Stark new data from the United States and Europe suggests otherwise.

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analysis of U.S. cases from Feb. 12 to March 16 released Wednesday shows 38 percent of those sick enough to be hospitalized were younger than 55.

Earlier this week, French health ministry official Jérome Salomon said half of the 300 to 400 coronavirus patients treated in intensive care units in Paris were younger than 65, and, according to numbers presented at a seminar of intensive care specialists, half the ICU patients in the Netherlands were younger than 50.

We have a 29 year old friend that has it. She is a crossfit fanatic and very healthy. But now she has trouble breathing and is quarantined from her own husband and children.

I wonder if there is a connection to vaping with some?

Yeah, I thought of that. We already know vaping can be a killer. It might put these kids in the same risk group as people with lung issues.

If I was younger my main concern wouldn’t be dying from it now, but how much permanent damage might be done to my lungs.

Nobody said younger people aren't effected. The doctor who broke the news of this virus (and was threatened by the Chicoms with arrest) ended up dying from the virus, and he was only 33.

But the reality is, elderly people are more vulnerable, and more likely to have serious complications from the virus. The article doesn't deny this. It also offers explanations as to why some younger people might be effected.

For those with children, it is very good news to see that those under 20 almost never develop into critical cases.
