CDC: Most hospitalized H1N1 patients under age 25
CDC officials said that slightly more than half of the people sick enough to be hospitalized with the H1N1 flu virus are under age 25, which is very different from the seasonal flu, in which the elderly account for about 60% of hospitalizations. The CDC report also showed that 23.6% of H1N1 deaths are in people younger than 25. ABC News/Reuters (10/20)

This is going to be bad when it starts hitting in places which don't have a lot of hospitals.

Yes...and even in places that do...as the respiratory floors and ICUs _will_ get swamped.

Time will tell...
