The OP seems like a "Hockey Stick" graph story meant to scare or shock.
38 to 39% of hospitals deaths are people in that age group historically.
Of about 750,000 inpatient deaths nationally that's 290.000.
So the OP is saying 117,00 "extra" people died.
.03% of the US population.
Just another way to look at a percentage.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
