World Health Organization officials cautioned Friday that more young people are becoming critically ill and dying from the coronavirus that’s now spread to almost every country across the world.
“We are seeing more and more younger individuals who are experiencing severe disease,” Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of the WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing from the organization’s Geneva headquarters. “We’ve seen some data from a number of countries across Europe where people of younger age have died. Some of those individuals have had underlying conditions, but some have not.”

Still statistical anomalies, thank god.
Any group that’s spared is good.

I’m sick and tired of this fear mongering. Since when are 40s and 50s considered young?

40’s when I turned 50. 50 are looking younger now that I’m 58. Both of them when the high risk categories were 60 and older but mostly 70 and older.

Sure, 40s and 50s are younger then 60s and 70s. But someone 40 isn’t young, they are Middle aged. When you are 18 a 40 year old women looks old to you.
They are only grouping 40 year olds into young people to increase their stats on who is getting sick. Almost no one statistically under 30 is getting sick and certainly under 20.

When the mantra keeps getting repeated that you don’t need to worry about it if you weren’t 60+
And the guy didn’t say young. He said “younger”

From a policy perspective - 40’s and 50’s are the experienced members of the work force.

I will add if the virus is not mutating, “more and more young people in the hospital” may just mean the virus is more widespread (so that the statically small number of young people hospitalized start to build in raw numbers).
In which:
The bad: Virus more contagious than perceived.
The good: Closer to herd immunity than we thought.

We are a long, long way before herd immunity is a factor.
Current total infected approximates for the US are between 625k and 1.4 million.
This includes those that have been previously infected and stay home. With the Ro of this virus being what it is, we are looking at a minimum of 50-60% of the population needs to be inoculated before herd immunity kicks in.
That’s around 118x the upper figure of previously infected+currently infected.
Which equates to a death toll of around 825k
Which is why the social distancing move. We can’t sit back and wait for herd immunity to come into play.
