@Farsala Young people still get hospitalized and put on oxygen to get through. The high death toll is part because of lack of hospital care and lack of oxygen if you do manage to get into a hospital.
Also you're comparing young healthy well nourished westerners to kids growing up in poor countries, lacking sanitation and good/regular nourishment to grow a strong immune system.
You can't compare stats from rich countries with excellent health care to poor countries coping with hunger and almost no health care.

Niger sits at 0.12 hospital beds per 1,000, Japan is at over 13 beds per 1,000
