It makes sense to me that younger people percentages would increase as the pool of potential older people hospitalizations reduces faster than the potential pool of younger people hospitilazations reduces. Sort of like how the more people get vaccinated the larger percentage of hospitalizations they will become.
I’m open to it affecting younger people harder than the original but hospitalization rates ad increased media focus are not an indicator of that.

Saw the hospitalizations for 30-50 year olds are almost double what they have been for covid in their release tosay.
