Something to clarify; the morbidity vs. mortality. You're hearing about the number of deaths (mortality), which is surely dominated by the geriatric population. What you're not hearing about is the number of critically ill patients (morbidity), more and more of whom we are seeing under the age of 60, who go into respiratory failure and need the the ventilator to stay alive, but aren't dead (yet?).

These patients don't just "ride the vent" for a few days before they recover. No, the lung damage by this infection is severe enough that we're seeing patients stuck on life support for WEEKS. Which is why the limited number of ventilators are tied up and there's such a shortage.
