I thought it was interesting to compare how the statistics per age group changed over time here in Sweden for ICU care.

Please note that this data is not the number of patients, but rather the number of admissions into the ICU. Some patients are moved between different ICU's while they are being cared for, which then will be registered in this data as a separate event:

Women: red
blue: men

ICU care events up to March 20:
Thumb of 2020-04-12/William/cc472b

ICU care events March 21 - April 12:
Thumb of 2020-04-12/William/12f6de

Small sample of course, but I noted that the number of care events for the 80-89 year old group proportionally is much smaller now. That could suggest that patients in that age group has less access to ICU care now, than in the beginning, but that is just pure speculation.

I have also noted that 25% of the patients in ICU are below 65 age years old, and has no per-existing conditions. So perfectly healthy people, in working age.
