    “Lol, at any given time there are probably many times 70 people under the age of 60 in ICU from all manner of normal health problems”

    Actually, I made a mistake.

    Those 70 people under 60 years of age referred to the number of people hospitalised in total in that sub-60 age cohort, not specifically in ICU (which is 13),

    For context that’s 70 people in hospital and 13 in ICU out of a total of 13,000 diagnosed cases (plus who knows how many undiagnosed?)

    so 70 out of 13,000 ... that’s 0.5% hospitalisation rate (less even when incorporating asymptomatic cases that don’t get reported).

    and that’s what you are using as the basis for arguing that this disease is bad for young people?

    Pretty flimsy argument on any objective measure.
