CDC: Covid-19 greater threat to people ages 40 to 59, than people ages 60 to 79!

"CDC report offers detailed demographic breakdown of who is getting coronavirus
By Andrea Kane and Paul LeBlanc, CNN"

"Updated 10:01 PM ET, Mon June 15, 2020"

"New numbers released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offer a comprehensive picture of who in the United States has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and how they fared."

"The report found that the incidence rate is 403.6 cases per 100,000, with men and women getting sick at almost the same rate. But the percentages of males who were hospitalized (16%), admitted to the ICU (3%) and who died (6%) were higher than were those for females (12%, 2% and 5%, respectively)."

"The rate was highest among people 80 and older and lowest among children 9 and younger. But the relationship between age and incidence rate was not a straight line: It was higher among peoples age 40-49 years and 50-59 years than among those age 60-69 years and 70-79 years."

Most people age 70-79 are not working, have far less contact with others than the 40 to 59 age group. People in the 40-59 age groups are often still raising children or have older children living at home which makes infection more likely.

Thank you for stating what you would expect to be fucking obvious.

I know you think everyone that is 65 and over is isolated from the general population in a retirement home or nursing home, but that is far from reality. People of all ages work and the percentage that are over 70 that continue to work grows every year.

Please show me where I said that.

But the percentage of them that work is much lower.

If you're someone that wants to see the economy stay in the tank then the message you're pushing is that cases are increasing in some places. If you're someone that wants to see the economy rebound then your message is that treatment of the virus has gotten much better and the number of people dying from Covid 19 is way down!

Just because a person does not die immediately from Covid-19 does not mean their out of the woods. If their lungs are scarred from the infection, they could potentially die from a lung condition a few years from now.

If you want to SAVE THE ECONOMY, you lock down until you have rid the population of the virus. That is what Taiwan and New Zealand did. The economy will NEVER return to normal as long as you allow the infection to spread.

The Lancet found that, on average, the duration from symptoms to death is 17.8 days.

15% which is lot less than those in 40 to 59 age group. I live in a condo where most of the residents are over 60. A lot of these people rarely put their foot out of their unit since the stay at home order in March. When they do, they are always wearing a mask. They have everything delivered. There are delivery boxes where people leave non-perishable items for days before picking them up. There are signs that advise residents to wear gloves when touching door handles or elevator buttons and stay 6 feet away from any resident door after knocking. I don't know anybody in the 40 to 59 age group that takes these kind of precautions. When at home most days with very few visitors it's pretty easy to avoid the virus. By contrast, I have a daughter in her 40's that comes in direct contact with at least 50 to 100 people every day.

If you lock down until you have rid the population of the virus there will be no economy left to save, U2Edge! We've lost thousands of businesses just during the three months that things were locked down...locking them down for months more would be utterly catastrophic.

I would imagine that it is a pretty tough decision for many governors to have to make. Keep the economy lock down and businesses will fail, families will face financial disasters, and some will not survive it. On the hand, opening up the economy will mean addition people will die. No matter what decision you make, the people that voted for you and trust you will suffer.

Once again...getting the virus isn't necessarily a bad thing if you're younger and healthy! Once you get it and develop immunity then you're not as apt to spread it to an older person or unhealthy one when they do come out of quarantine! Notice that hospitalizations are down as are deaths. The number of reported cases has risen because we're testing more people now.

Why are hospitalizations for coronavirus going up? Congratulations Trump and the GOP have totally screwed the pooch on yet another issue.....

I'm talking about lung conditions and diseases not related to covid-19 but could develop later on as a result of damage done to it. Just like smoking does not kill right away, it can lead to conditions that will later on cause health problems and pre-mature death.

Ok, 15% by some estimates, but its INCREASING every year. The traditional idea of retirement is fading.

Everyone I know of every age group is taking the precautions you just explained above for people 60 and over. Fact is, there is no way to know for sure who has it, or how your body will react if you get it. Even if it does not cause you symptoms, you could potentially spread it to someone else where it will.

New Zealand and Taiwan defeated the virus by instituting heavy restrictions and lockdowns regardless of a persons age. Age did not matter. Those two countries are the gold standard for defeating the virus. What has been done here in the United States so far has absolutely failed, which is essentially late, half hearted efforts at restrictions and lockdowns. The myth that all you need to do is isolate a certain age group and that it could actually be done, is what places like Florida, Texas and Arizona are doing, and their FAILING in a big way and preventing the United States from defeating this virus.

In any event, its what the CDC says, that people 40 to 59 have actually had it worse than people 60 to 79 when they get infected. It would be unwise to pretend that's not the case and pretend you have some type of immunity or protection just because your 40 and not 70. That's not the mind set that Taiwan and New Zealand had, and they have been proven to be right on this.

The so called opening up will not "save" the economy. Consumers will determine whether the economy is open for certain types of business or not, and as long as consumers stay home with their money, it won't matter how many business's you let open up that are closed.

The only way to protect the health of people and the health of the economy, is to defeat the virus as soon as possible. Taiwan and New Zealand have shown how that is done. A Vaccine would be a great help, but under the best case situation that, won't be available until next summer at the earliest.

The economy will not be able to recover fully until the virus is defeated. The sooner you defeat the virus, the sooner you rebuild the economy.

Also, the lockdowns are not nearly as destructive to the economy as all the bombings and use of nuclear weapons that Japan suffered in 1945, yet by, 1958, even Hiroshima had fully recovered and was larger and economically stronger than it had been in 1945 just before it was nuked.

The United States is learning that hard way, that its failure to restrict early and stay in lockdown, is simply prolonging the pain and suffering for individuals health and the economy in general. There are no half measures in successfully fighting a pandemic.

120,000 Americans are dead from covid-19.

In contrast only 7 people are dead in Taiwan from Covid-19.

The United States had a chance at being like Taiwan and having maybe as few as only 100 deaths from Covid-19, but it required Trump to shut the countries borders on January 21, 2020, just as Taiwan had done the day before. If the United States had followed Taiwan's lead on this, 119,000 Americans would still be alive, the economy would be in better shape, and we'd be helping the rest of the world combat this pandemic, instead of having receive aid from other parts of the world because the spread is so massive that we don't have the supplies to deal with it.

Everyday, Taiwan shows you the scale of Trump's failure.

When younger people look at old people, they often think those poor people have nothing to live for so they just as well die. However, once they are old they learn something that the young can never seem to understand; happiness can come from very simple pleasures such as watching a beautiful sunrise, the smile on the face of their granddaughter at her wedding, seeing an old movie they loved so when they were young, and old picture album that often brings a tear to the eye or a smile. Yes, the old have physical ailments and failing memory that makes life hard but never think that just because a person is old, they can not enjoy living and life can be just as precious as when they were young, possible more so because they are close to the end. The young never seem to grasp this until they are old.

When younger people look at old people, they often think those poor people have nothing to live for so they just as well die. However, once they are old they learn something that the young can never seem to understand; happiness can come from very simple pleasures such as watching a beautiful sunrise, the smile on the face of their granddaughter at her wedding, seeing an old movie they loved so when they were young, and old picture album that often brings a tear to the eye or a smile. Yes, the old have physical ailments and failing memory that makes life hard but never think that just because a person is old, they can not enjoy living and life can be just as precious as when they were young, possible more so because they are close to the end. The young never seem to grasp this until they are old.

You read something into this that isn't there.

I was not talking about older people.

I have advocated for protection of the elderly since this started.

In my mind, we have failed them by concentrating on all the wrong things.

If you're someone that wants to see the economy stay in the tank then the message you're pushing is that cases are increasing in some places. If you're someone that wants to see the economy rebound then your message is that treatment of the virus has gotten much better and the number of people dying from Covid 19 is way down!

Just because a person does not die immediately from Covid-19 does not mean their out of the woods. If their lungs are scarred from the infection, they could potentially die from a lung condition a few years from now.

If you want to SAVE THE ECONOMY, you lock down until you have rid the population of the virus. That is what Taiwan and New Zealand did. The economy will NEVER return to normal as long as you allow the infection to spread.

If you lock down until you have rid the population of the virus there will be no economy left to save, U2Edge! We've lost thousands of businesses just during the three months that things were locked down...locking them down for months more would be utterly catastrophic.

I would imagine that it is a pretty tough decision for many governors to have to make. Keep the economy lock down and businesses will fail, families will face financial disasters, and some will not survive it. On the hand, opening up the economy will mean addition people will die. No matter what decision you make, the people that voted for you and trust you will suffer.

People are going to die anyway.
