The opposite would follow for middle-aged patients, as they still retain good immune function but would have more exposure.
I think we're firmly planted in the brainstorming phase here.

Wouldn’t loss of T cell function woth age explain some of that?
Looking at Stockholm and how quick it’s come down the curve or atleast last I looked is weird to me seeing as they haven’t done much.
Definitely some overshoot with deaths and such if it gets into the elderly like in bergamo and New York
