That spike from Korea in the 20-29 age range is mostly from the one Christian group that got it first. If you’re going to tweet a graph research it first, especially if it looks unbelievable.https://twitter.com/markwby/status/1238867143363567616 …

Strictly-speaking true (the majority of known cases originated from Shincheonji) but I'm not sure how it refutes the original tweet. It's true that many infections in younger people are mild (e.g. patient 0 in Germany thought she had a cold and returned to work a day later)

I came to ask what difference it makes as well.

1. He states the cause is Korea testing, but assignable cause is one religious group that was ultra stupid. 2. It has no demographic value. If you remove just those cases it suddenly looks like a normal curve. 3. It is not "TERRIFYING", there is no correlation with testing.

I think the point is that Italy is only testing folks who are in bad condition, so their results of infection skew older. Korea is testing everyone, and their results show folks in their 20s are infected too.

No, the point is SCAARRRRYYYYY ITALY ISN'T TESTING AND THERE'S HIDDEN 20-29 YEAR OLDS WHO WILL DIIIEEEEEEE. That's the bullshit. The age range has nothing to do with it, it's a one-off anomaly in that one graph in a very particular situation that won't be replicated. Bet you.

Ahhh, Thanks for sticking with me. I think I understand where our thoughts diverge now. I figured the issue was not young people dying so much as carrying the infection to others who might.
