[quote=Anonymous]So this was surprising:

[i]In an alarming development, Dr Nattino said younger patients were being affected, saying the ages of patients ranged from 46 to 83 with only a small number having important underlying conditions.

He added: “The last days are showing a younger population involved as if the elderly and weaker part of the population crashed early and now younger patients, having exhausted their physiological reserves, come to overcrowded, overwhelmed hospitals with little resources left.”

One UK doctor said this latter point needed careful consideration by NHS hospitals, adding: “We need to be careful to have some ICU capacity for younger patients. This is where important difficult decisions need to be made.” [/i]

I (44) hate being on the edge of “vulnerable”! I want to not panic and focus on my parents and older neighbors but jfc I’m really worried about where we’re gonna be in a week.
