It was the hospitalization rate, as cited, and the rest of your comment is unsupported conjecture...

Except that's misleading considering that hospitalization is not a prerequisite for death and the statistic in that group is higher than 0.2%
https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#demographics
the death rate in that cohort is 0.36% or about 1 in 300
14,387 deaths in 3,978,547 cases
considering that they are on the high end of that bracket the next higher bracket is about 1.3% mortality rate or about 1 in 100 though that houses the group up to age 64 so it's more likely closer to the 0.5%-0.8% mortality rate but that's interpolating the data so it's messy.
