Younger patients are being hospitalized more in the U.S. and Europe than in China, and it's not clear why.
People between the ages of 20 and 44 appear to be more seriously impacted by the coronavirus in Europe than in China, and it’s not clear why, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
In U.S., people under 44 make up 20% of hospitalized coronavirus patients, according to a report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday. Patients under 65 accounted for nearly half of those admitted to hospital intensive-care units for COVID-19. Peter Gaynor, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, told CNN’s Jake Tapper he couldn’t give “a rough number” of masks the government has so far been able to acquire and distribute to hospitals. He has said he’s working in partnership with the private sector to build up a national stockpile.
