Cuts on the confirmed cases by age group and to some extent race/gender will help understand upcoming hospitalization and death.

There have been 10 million confirmed cases and probably 10x that many infections with very few reports of longer term adverse impacts.

Long term effects can take a long time to show up. We don't know what they might be.
Of course this is a case where no long term effects are something we are only sure of after currently young people die of old age.

What long term? This disease has existed for about 6 months in the public eye (and a bit longer now that there are cases in Europe being found from October/November) how can you even consider talking about long term effects when we haven't yet lived through the time it can be considered "long term".
Or do you work with the concept "long term = next quarter"?
I think more significantly they're driven by total cases. Are you suggesting we test less?
Also you seem to have a very black and white view of outcomes. It's not clear cut between alive or dead. There's many things that we still don't know about this virus and the harm it causes. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200622-the-long-term-ef...
