Despite the many things we do not know COVID-19, one thing has been repeated so often and so hard, it seems indisputable: the elderly are more likely than young people get sick and die from COVID-19 However, recent data show a picture more complex. Older people seem rather die COVID-19 but are not necessarily more likely to be infected. US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data from mid-March found that about the US mid-COVID 19 patients with known age at the time was 55 years or more, although only 29% of the country’s population is so old over time, however, the data are better assigned to cover the full age distribution of the country (with the exception of children 19 and younger, who still make up a very small percentage of infections). The latest data from the CDC was posted on June 19, shows that almost 70% of people in the US who have been tested positive on May 30 were younger than 60. The average age of the United States was COVID-19 patients during this 48 period, and decreased even in the latest hot spots in the country like Florida and Arizona, where it counts cases advised to boil. The test is likely to play a role in the move profile COVID-19 patients. At the beginning of the outbreak, when tests were scarce, only the most difficult patients sick could get a test. Since many of the patients most severely are older, they were over-represented in the data early on. But now, to get a lot easier with the test, public health networks are more mild and asymptomatic capture in a position of cases include many younger people who have got probably not tested in March or April. “The more we try to do, the closer we get to the truth, has come,” Natalie Dean, an assistant says Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Florida. “What we have distorted. Before making the age old” recent developments suggest infection rates are rising for all groups in the United States, even for the youngest. If it was simply more cases of more robust detection test, as he says actually more infections occurring opposite Dean expected the test overall percentage that are positive to go back, as more and more people who would ultimately be also included in the negative test data. This is not the case in the current COVID-19 hot spots such as Texas, Florida and Arizona, which indicates a change in the underlying outbreak. More and more people of all ages seem to be sick in these areas, and we now have enough evidence, happened to see. Even with further tests, trends for death and serious illnesses are fairly constant. Older patients (and those with underlying health conditions) are still the most likely to die of COVID-19 for the hospital and to be as they are during the outbreak. Could the week slight fluctuations from it takes a while ‘after someone has been infected, sick enough for them to need to get the admission to the hospital, but “unless there is a spike in infections in the elderly, we do not expect, a dramatic change in terms of hospital admissions, “says Dean. Why was it so clear that older adults and people with other health problems associated with the highest risk of severe disease, more cautious than younger seniors may also be as a society reopening, says Dean might not run for gyms, bars and restaurants with the same thing and thus protect themselves from potential exposure rate. If young people to throw caution to the wind, although it can ripple effects for the elderly and vulnerable has. Young, healthy people may get mild or asymptomatic disease nor be a carrier, perhaps in order to transmit the virus to someone who will take the heavier a lot of cases. “In the younger age of the youngest infections in at least some places like Florida, expect a lower mortality rate in this wave of … 20 to 40 years, infected today are traveling to infect others .. .. “the former CDC director Dr. Tom Pace wrote on Twitter on June 21 for personal and community health reasons, Dean says it’s for people of all ages, yet it is still important for the practice of distancing and wearing masks social in public.
