    Jeet Heer Retweeted Mark Byrne

    This is a good argument for why young people (who are more likely to be carrying and spreading without showing symptoms) should be practicing social distancing.https://twitter.com/markwby/status/1238867143363567616 …

    Here’s something that’s absolutely terrifying: a comparison of the age distributions of Covid-19 cases in Italy, where they are only testing people who show symptoms, and S. Korea, which has broad testing. A whole lot of 20-29yos out there who feel just fine but are v contagious. pic.twitter.com/BU96h3VKUc

        RC Retweeted KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation)

        Maybe it's not just a "boomer remover". Guess they haven't seen these stats from Kaiser that includes 18yr olds: https://twitter.com/KFF/status/1238597165481521152?s=20 … Good thing all classes were moved online to avoid close contact in huge numbers. Sure hope that green beer today was worth it.

        JUST RELEASED: 41% of adults ages 18+ in the U.S. – 105.5M -- have a higher risk of developing more serious illness if they become infected with the virus that causes #COVID19. This estimate is based on their age (60+) or underlying health conditions. https://www.kff.org/global-health-policy/issue-brief/how-many-adults-are-at-risk-of-serious-illness-if-infected-with-coronavirus/ … pic.twitter.com/R7wy1TMfZt

        Absolutely. People in their 20s aren't going to die from COVID-19 (except in very rare cases) but they will infect many elders who will.

        This is the morose inverse of the generational divide in our politics, where it is the elderly who have the most influence on the youngest generations’ future.
