There is no way of knowing one way or another. We don't even know the truth about what is happenng there in the first place.
You can keep telling yourself that and I will listen to all the experts.

Every single person in New York City can now assume they were exposed. Testing now deemed pointless.

What I don’t get is that if the risk is mostly for older people - why not only quarantine the older people (or people with peer is ting conditions) and not shut down the entire economy?

Older people don’t normally have young children in school or work (assuming 70+ at least) as much etc.

Hospitals wont be able to handle the problem if everyone gets sick.
Simply not enough beds, respirators etc etc

Younger people don’t usually get that sick to need respirators etc (from what I understand)

First of all if they have an underlying medical condition then yes they will.

#2 Even in bad cases of the flu season, hospitals can be over crowded.

Supposedly this is much worse than the flu in symptoms

I said anyone with an underlying medical condition should also be quarantined.
That’s not the entire population and the whole economy with it...

20% hospitalization rate includes a lot of young and healthy people.

Source? and please clarify what you mean by alot? Not suggesting that young people shouldn't have a societal obligation to  socially distance (obviously they should).

What do I mean by a lot - don't have an exact number for this - but even if it's 2-3% for young/healthy it's enough to contribute to overwhelming the hospitals. Currently from anecdotal data, eg. all 11 patients in Holy name are under 48, and 32 y/o healthy doctor in Hackensack was first case and in ICU, Dr Li Wenliang was young and healthy, etc. Also assuming that if 20% is correct, there's got to be healthy people part of that number.

I agree with you.  Although the talk here says that if we allow all the young people to get it at once, we'd overwhelm the medical system, too.
