While the elderly are highly susceptible to the coronavirus COVID-19, young adults aren’t off the hook, either.

Almost 40% of U.S. coronavirus patients who were sick enough to need hospitalization were between the ages of 20 to 54, according to recent CDC data and according to the recent CDC report the coronavirus pandemic has moved into younger populations across much of the US.
