Not exactly shocking news. The risk of dying from most diseases increases significantly with age.

This was news in Feb or so, because not every disease has this profile. The 1919 flu, for instance, was much more deadly in the young (whose stronger immune systems could over-react more dramatically).
Even the normal flus are somewhat dangerous for infants and young children, while COVID-19 is not.
Measles is another example.
