Here's a post I found at FR, lifted from WBBM 780 in Chicago. It really, IMO, gets to the core issue. Most of these young people don't die. The reason is mostly because they're stronger, have more endurance--you can see that in the anecdotal accounts. But large numbers of young(ish) people DO wind up in the ICU. Cutting off care to anyone older than 60 won't change that, and failing to curtail spread through the only means currently available--social distancing--will result in hospital overload anyway. Because of the numbers of infected young people. Check it out. I included the first comment:
