Median age of 66? I can't see the full text, but even in the abstract they probably should mention that these findings aren't really saying much about the general populace.

It's pretty well established that SARS2 is worse for older people and often less dangerous to younger people than influenza.

It says a lot that they don't even bother looking at younger people. Probably because they're basically at zero risk from Covid, just like we've been saying all along.
