Up to one out of five patients hospitalized in the United States due to the COVID-19 disease are between the ages of 20 and 44, according to a new federal study.
Older people represent many of the deaths from the new CCP virus, which causes the disease, but the analysis of 4,226 patients from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows 20 percent of those confirmed as requiring hospitalization were aged 20 to 44.
