they are definitely trying to skew some data here in the hopes young people start taking it more seriously.
Then why wouldn't they just show the 38% number broken out like this:

18% were 45–54 years, and 20% were aged 20–44 years.
20-44 has more hospitalizations than the rest of that figure.

You think kids that live with their grandparents are the ones that are out partying right now in large groups?
Who is referring to people partying? I am just saying schools closing, working from home if possible and generally using common sense and not thinking “ I am going on like normal” will help the situation . I am not panicking, just trying to do what experts say is best to slow the spread of the virus and hopefully keeping hospitals and healthcare workers available to help those who need it... you know, ( May be foreign to some) thinking of others

You could've found it yourself, but you wanted to cry about muh fake news instead. The numbers are real, and you can't argue them so you deflect and criticize the source. Sounds like you'd fit right in working for one of those fake news companies.

They are real. But presented in a massively misleading way

Are the elderly in a nursing home transported to a hospital for care or is the nursing home equipped to handle them and so they are never “hospitalized”?
Tom Hanks and his wife were “hospitalized” but it was more of a quarantine for monitoring than for treatment, I think. They were/are fine by all accounts.

Which was my point for asking for the actual study.
But he knows that.

Obesity in the United States
That’s eerily coincidental.

The National Center for Health Statistics estimates that, for 2015-2016 in the U.S., 39.8% of adults aged 20 and over were obese
That’s eerily coincidental.

Lol are you seriously doubting this is an accurate number? Good lord
Dig a little deeper into the fine print. They're missing data on 1/3 of hospitalizations. That's a pretty substantial number. That data is from 2,449 cases. 705 in that age group are known to have it and 14-20% are being hospitalized. So at worst, 4/5 in that age group do not require hospitalization.
They're wording it pretty deliberately because they know that the elderly population is the most at risk group and they believe "millenials" aren't taking it seriously enough and are going to infect the group that can't fight it off.
In other words it is indeed fear mongering, but I get the reasoning behind it

No it wasn't because you could've found it yourself.
