When I 1st saw this I thought " well, I could certainly do with being younger, but I don't think I could get any sicker!"

Just seen this article on the BBC website.

It's a tad misleading.

There are more people infected and as a small number of young always got sick, higher numbers of infection means more younger getting sick.

So basically nothing has changed in terms of the chance of young becoming sick if infected.
