4/5 Real-time data do not give us further details, like age group of cases. We must analyse case report forms available on a smaller subset of cases. These too will fluctuate w/⬆️case reports in daily.

5/5 Case reports tell us that ~9-12% of hospitalised #COVID19 cases involve people under 40 years of age. This highlights that younger people also develop illness severe enough to require hospitalization.
