Coronavirus: More young patients being admitted to hospital, Italian doctor warns
Over 17,600 people are infected by Covid-19 in Europe’s worst-hit country

Italians admitted to hospital for coronavirus are getting younger, a health official has claimed.

“The type of patient is changing,” Luca Lorini, the head of anaesthesia and intensive care at a northern Italian hospital, has said.

“They are a bit younger, between 40 to 45 years old and the cases are more complicated.”

Dr Lorini, who works at a hospital in Bergamo, told radio programme RaiNews24: ”People are arriving who got ill six or seven days ago and treated themselves at home – and then their conditions became more and more critical.”

Twelve per cent of those who have been treated in intensive care are aged between 19 and 50, according to official figures released last week. Around 52 per cent are between 51 and 70 years old, with the rest all over 70.

Younger people with lots of social contact are more at risk of contracting the disease if they do not stick to social distancing rules

Twelve per cent of those who have been treated in intensive care are aged between 19 and 50,

And, what percentage of those had other health conditions that contributed to their need for intensive care?

Predict how many are going to die in the US from Corona. Put out a number.

Gateway Pundit is mainly a news aggregator like Drudge (and like FreeRepublic for that matter). The GP article very plainly and openly writes "These numbers came from the World Health Organization YouTube page." It goes on to say "And according to the BBC the the AVERAGE AGE of those who have died is 81!"

So complaining about GP is complaining about WHO and BBC.
