you’re thinking of just covid-19 cases. but they compete with all other cases for medical care.

if you come in messed up from a car accident and you need 5 doctors to survive, or those 5 doctors can keep 5 covid patients alive each, you’re going to be left to bleed out. regardless of how young you are.

(i’m not claiming those relative numbers are realistic.)
