In Washington State the Department of Health has been keeping track. Approximately 55% of all fatalities are 80 years of age or older:

Only 7% of fatalities are under 60 years of age. 37% are 60-79. Only 1% of all fatalities are under 40.
Yeah, ANYBODY can get it and ANYBODY can die of it but the RISK of dying of it if you do get it is pretty low for anyone under 60 without some serious preexisting conditions.

The death rate for people under 60 will skyrocket in areas where they run out of ventilators. They may not even give your healthy grandma a fighting chance in order to give it to a 30 year old. This is already happening in Italy, and probably Spain too
