ponyboy, this is a good source of information
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/
In NYC, of the 15,230 reported deaths (as of last month), only 99 are individuals without any underlying medical conditions (some deaths are unknown) and of those 99, only 20 are below the age of 45.
Nationwide, 40% of all deaths are Nursing Home related, that number spikes to 70% in NY (and some other states) due primarily to poor decisions by their state governments.
Australia has reported 104 COVID-19 deaths with ZERO deaths for individuals under the age of 40. Mental health experts there say suicides related to COVID-19 (economic hardship, isolation,etc) could increase by 1,500 per year for the next 5 years under current economic conditions.
Overall, I think governments worldwide did a good job containing Covid, but these economies have to continue to open up (smartly, of course).
