Or conversely is he trying to insinuate it's a young people's disease.
Just say the number. (Hope no numbers). We don't need to know the ages. We don't need to know wether its male/female.
If your going to disclose ages then disclose any underlying conditions. No, we can't do that, we must shock & awe
not go about it with common sense and practicability.
I think he gives a breakdown of the age/genders to make people realise that these are real people that are dying, not just statistics. They cant give much more info than that for the sake of the families privacy.
