I was playing around with data from the CDC website and created this when looking at cause of deaths grouped by age. This data is Feb 1 - July 4.

I'm an idiot twice hitting quote instead of edit.

I agree. But I've never heard anyone worried about their kid dying of the flu or pneumonia.

How does this mortality compare to the same period in past years? I wonder if the Pneumonia deaths could be Covid but mis-classified.

Just found out my about to head to college 18 year old got his results back from a test from last Tuesday....positive. He was in bed for a day or two. 101 was the temp high. Sore lower back...slight headache. That was it. Played lots of Fortnite for a week. Similar to other illnesses he's had growing up.

Interesting part, neither Mom or Dad (or twin sister or 7 yr old brother) have shown any symptoms, and that's now been about 2 weeks since first symptoms from the boy. I've been jogging, wife playing tennis. He's happy it's over with, and ready to start playing football in the Fall. Actually been working out all week, hard.

EDIT: He just told me the steak dinner I got him for his graduation the other night, he couldn't really taste or smell it. Yep, he had it allright. Now I'm wondering when these senses come back?
