Age of those requiring ICU admission getting younger

The Province released new modelling data which among other things illustrated the fact that the age range of people being admitted to ICU’s due to Covid-19 is getting younger. Ontario Science Table Co-Chair Adalsteinn Brown had this to say.

“There is a substantial increase in the number of young people admitted into intensive care units. From 30 percent under the age of 60 to 46 percent.”

The modelling data has indicated that even if the government brings in a month long province wide stay-at-home order starting April 5^th ICU admissions could hit nearly 800 by the end of April.
