My sister lives in Missouri and is in her 70"s. We have been really watching Missouri's numbers. The state has a really good web site that updates lots of information everyday at 4:00 PM. They even list every single county and how many reported cases there are by county and deaths by county.
Current total cases as of today is 1327 with 13 deaths. The interesting figures that I though I would post is they give by age on each case reported.

Ages 20 - 29 = 212 cases
Ages 60 - 69 = 212 cases
Under the Age of 20 = 43 Cases
Ages 75 - 80 = 40 cases

Thought this was interesting.

There was never any real question about the susceptibility of different age groups. The issue is the older segment of the population is much more likely to have a severe case needing some sort of care.

No one has thought otherwise for weeks. The young are the one's most likely to spread it. Still in the work force, still the most active / social, etc.

For comparison: Indiana

Percent of cases under the age of 50 - 41.8%
Percent. If fatalities under the age of 50 - 2%

Here in Springfield, we've had 6 deaths (more than KC and St. Louis), but 5 came from one nursing home. There'll likely be more from that home soon.

Going to say that its probably far more prevalent in the younger populations, even younger than me.

We are seeing the result of "IDGAF it's an old people illness " and percentages catching up with that demographic.....if 90% are asymptomatic. but the disease is infecting 9x the number of people. Of course we're starting to see more confirmed cases.

Teens are likely to be the next one to show it, based on regional Anecdotal evidence.

Friend of mine admitted a 27 y.o. Covid-19 patient in Waco who was subsequently intubated in the hospital. He actually made it off the vent yesterday after being on for about 10 days.

It's crazy, you hear of people in their 50's and 60's that get it, feel like crap for a week or so at home, then are fine. Then you hear about people in their 20's and 30's, healthy, that are incubated , and some die. I don't think I've heard an explanation for it...is it different strains? Are certain blood types more susceptible?

I've read that A- blood may be at higher risk, but that was a few weeks ago. Males are also at higher risk.

The stories of young ones that have to be incubated are spread more to create fear in the young ones to stay at home to limit the spread.

Wow what? Is it not true that young people have been more reluctant to follow the guide lines? Is it not true that there has been an emphasis on getting young people to follow the guide lines? Is it not true this virus affects the older and already sick demographic more?

Im not saying its right or wrong but its clear the stories of the young getting sick get spread more than the 80 year old getting sick and dying.

Younger people being serious ill and drying is going to make the news more now than a random 90 year old dying from it. It is much less likely to happen, and makes a good headline for the press.

The media wants clicks and people watching the news so they're going to lead with stories like that.

No one has ever said younger people can't catch it, or that if they do, it won't be serious. While most will not become seriously ill, the virus can infect anyone, and can kill anyone.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Ah sorry I took the tone of your post to be that they are fake stories to scare people into taking this seriously. Just misread your intent.

In this case, the anecdote is worse than the statistic. NYC has a good reporting page on hospitalizations, cases, and deaths by age group. It is evident that CFR is below 0.5% for 20-49 years of age.

But man it will scare you straight to read about a healthy 29 year old being intimated.

Sorry but the "intimated" made me giggle. I'm sure it is an autocorrect for intubated but I gotta my laughs where I can.

plus, not everyone 20-49 who's getting the bug is getting tested

and if any cohort is likely to be asymptomatic or lightly symptomatic, it's <30 yo crowd

And by grouping 20-49 you skew the statistic because more of the deaths are going to be at the higher ages than at the younger ones.

Eventually it will happen, but breaking it down in 10 year intervals would be the most useful.

Just like when one report tried to hype it that people 20-59 were dying so it was suddenly killing lots of young people. When the breakdown of the numbers came, almost all of the deaths were 50+.

To be fair much of this reporting is also trying to counter earlier reporting that gave a much different impression of this virus.

Back when we were in the "elbow bumps are OK" and "only if you are sick do you need to stay home" days, most of the higher ups were pushing that this was a virus that only really impacted the old, at-risk population.

Once it really blew up state-side that narrative changed a bit. It's still the older that are most at risk, but there were many more under 50 that have had issues than we were expecting based on the foreign data we had. About 3 weeks ago that data started to change to reflect that younger were in-fact at risk.

While no doubt the news is looking for clicks, in this case it's not doing a disservice - it's been very obvious that young people don't seem to think this virus will impact them so maybe a few headlines will make them think otherwise.

A serious of Tik-Tok videos where it shows young couples having fun and then immediately cuts to them intubated in a hospital*

I think what this tells us is the young are getting it everywhere but are not getting bad enough symptoms to qualify for testing. As testing becomes more available we will start to capture a larger % of the cases and my guess is we will find there is no "immunity" amongst the young. The young just fight it off much more effectively.

we still have a problem with communicating who exactly among the relatively young cohort are at the higher relative risk

obesity

instead we are dressing it up as diabetes, etc.
