More people, younger people admitted to hospital with COVID-19 [Memphis]

Snip Tuesday, almost another 200 new COVID-19 cases were reported in Shelby County. Monday it was 250. Doctors on the Joint Task Force say the increasing numbers was just one of their concerns. Snip In addition to the increase number of cases, there has been a steep incline in the number of hospitalizations. Previously the majority of the hospitalizations were from people in nursing homes, the elderly, or those with comorbidities - chronic long-term conditions. "We are now seeing much younger people coming to the hospital, many of them in their 20s and 30s, and in many cases, people who do not have any health conditions or comorbidities. This is very worrisome because it's different than the patterns we have been seeing," said Dr. Jon McCullers. More at link. Makes me wonder whether this is from a mutated strain? I'm staying home!

17. This is disturbing.

It's tragic when it's older people, yet absolutely heart-breaking when children suffer from this god-awful illness; especially when parents can't sit bedside at the hospital. As a mother, I don't know how I could sleep, eat, function, knowing my child was going through it alone.

If I find it, I will report back here, but about a month ago it was 30-50 range, with quite a few younger ones.
