They’re seeing a pretty even split between under 50 and 50 and over in NYC requiring hospitalization and life support.
This is all about not having so many people getting seriously sick at the same time and being forced to let some percentage of those effected die.
I’m not even sure if this more deadly than normal flu based on the high likelihood that many of us have it or had it and don’t know. But that’s not the reason for the shutdown. It’s all about being able to have health care function and not get overrun and people dying because of it.
