The obvious reality is if the number drives up the chance someone seemingly healthy and under 40 will die. This is still in line with what we already know though. Basically there's still no need for a mass panic when it does happen.

But what are the mortality rates for those not elderly AND without an underlying condition? There will almost certainly be deaths in the non-elderly, but with underlying conditions, especially lung related ones.
