There are charts at the bottom. You don't have to read the whole thing.

That isn't the conclusion of the study. The conclusion is that if you looked at the ages of 1000 people who were in the hospital with the flu and compared it to 1000 people in the hospital with Covid 19, the average age of the covid group would be lower. In other words, the study concludes that age is a bigger factor in hospitalizations with flu than for covid. Same with co-morbidities.
