Mainecat Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Half of New Coronavirus Cases in Washington Are People Under 40: Report Source: daily beast Half of New Coronavirus Cases in Washington Are People Under 40: Report Published May. 28, 2020 1:52PM ET Half of the new coronavirus cases in Washington State are among people under the age of 40, a major shift in the state’s age distribution that public health officials have attributed to younger people engaging in risky behavior. Seattle epidemiologist Judith Malmgren, who authored the report, said that younger people “are the most likely to be socially active, they are the most likely to work in essential professions and have more contact with the public.” Malmgren also said it was a “popular misconception that children, teenagers and young people are not at risk.” By early May, 39 percent of confirmed infections occurred in people aged 20 to 39, while those under the age of 19 accounted for 11 percent. Washington State Health Officer Dr. Kathy Lofy said the report indicated that older residents had been more diligent about adhering to social distancing practices and staying at home. She also credited the age distribution shift to the state’s efforts to control outbreaks in long-term care facilities.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted May 29, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Mentioned this before. Every single time they think people are getting back to normal they bring up the young people. Remember when spring break was going on. Boom articles about young people getting sick. Restrictions lifted. Boom articles on a few rare cases of a "covid" caused Kawasaki like syndrome in children. Now this. We can't scare them into compliance with so called "facts" about old people then lets use the young. Edited May 29, 2020 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
