below is the agreement-related breakdown for China where health care is somewhat comparable. and the lower table is from New York City Health.
COVID-19 Fatality Rate by AGE:*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) =probability of dying if infected by the virus(%). This probability differs depending on the age group. The percentages shown belowdo not have to add up to 100%, as theydo NOT represent share of deaths by agegroup. Rather, it represents, for a person in a given age group, therisk of dyingif infected with COVID-19.

by the data here you can plainly see that ALL age groups are susceptible and have had deaths recorded.
