In the US, Massachusetts, with 6.5M total population has been hit fairly hard (outside of NY/NJ). Today's MA DoH numbers [0] show that of the 4090 deaths to date, the average age of the dead is 82 and just about 60% of them were in long term care homes. If you look towards the end of the report, it lists LTC facility after LTC facility with >30% residents infected, it's quite tragic really.

FWIW, in MA the average age of hospitalized C19 patients is 69, average age of positive tested is 53 -- Interestingly over the last 2 weeks the average ages for deaths and hospitalizations has been creeping up and the average age for a positive test creeping down. In all, 1% of the MA population has tested positive (out of 4.67% the total pop. tested).
