assuming this isnt bait, even 20-29s and 30-39s require intensive care and ventilators at significant rates. the issue is the hard limit on beds & medical resources:

>wuhan required 2.6 icu beds per 10k adults
>the usa as a whole has 2.8 icu beds per 10k adults
>at any point in time, 65% occupancy of icu beds in the us
>americans have a slightly older population and vastly more risk factors in the average adult (hypertension, diabetes) than wuhan

a widescale outbreak would put hospitals beyond their hard limit and many people who'd otherwise survive but be in intensive care would probably die. its why gm and ford have been directed to produce ventilators, to try and expand that capacity

This. A young person with an illness like Diabetes or Asthma who works at a restaurant, travel agency, etc is now completely fucked. Millions of Americans could barely pay for medication and treatment when the economy was good and they had jobs, now what do they do? In socialised-medicine countries the money comes from taxes collected from economic activity. Completely shutting down the economy is going to result in huge cuts to these systems.

do you assume power stations, pipelines and everything witch makes an really big economic impact need your unimportant little existence to run on?

Now you see how worthless your job is - human.

Do the math, for ages 20-29, 540,463 will require hospitalization, and ages 30-39 1,395,048 will require hospitalization.
The worst part is the more people who go to the hospital for coronavirus the more likely healthcare workers will catch it, and if all the healthcare workers end up getting it there will be no healthcare left. Hospitals will shut down.
That's why its so important to do every measure we can to limit the amount of people getting sick.
