      Yeah, this is a bad sign.

      The data shows that 29% of COVID-19 admissions in the 0-to-4 age group had severe disease - a proportion similar to that in several other age groups, and significantly lower than the percentage of severe disease among patients over 60.

      They don't know if it's omicron or delta at this point, but it's not promising.

      Stock up on TP.

          Yeah, the first wave hit older and young people the hardest, then the second wave hit everyone with a spike in young adults.

          8 months after the initial outbreak yeah. I thought delta was going to be that but it seems I was wrong.

        is it because all the old people died already? Which would mean that the remaining old people would be relatively resistant to COVID to start with?
