The most puzzling thing about this wave is that even the young aren't being spared. From the start of the pandemic, I assumed it was patently clear that it's the old (>60 age) are vulnerable.
What I am seeing in Delhi is people from all walks of life without any comorbidites succumbing to the disease - peoples in 30s, 40s, and even 20s. Granted death rate of younger people isn't absolute zero, but in India, it's happening way too often. Could it be because of lack of hospital care? Maybe, it would interesting to see death by age group for hospitalised patients.
Unfortunately, there's no way to investigate this since I don't think there any publicly available data that shows deaths by age group.
