COVID-19 hospitalization rates rise exponentially with age, inversely proportional to thymic T-cell production
Here, we report that COVID-19 hospitalization rates follow an exponential relationship with age, doubling for every 16 years of age or equivalently increasing by 4.5% per year of life (R2 = 0.98). This mirrors the well-studied exponential decline of both thymus volume and T-cell production, which ha...
