According to the American Council on Science and Health (I’ve never heard of the group. Reading wiki I think it leans conservative, but they actually listed numbers that I could refer to) there have been (through June 17) a total of 850 deaths in the US from Covid for those that are 34 and under.
The estimated INFECTION fatality rates:
5-9: 0.0016
10-19- 0.00032
20-49- 0.0092
Have you seen dramatically different numbers. Or are you basing your assumption on a tragedy out of Penn State.
I think "hitting hard" just means getting infected (not just fatally). At least that's the only young person stat that I know of that would count as "more" for young people.
