Anybody know about data indicating age? It's always "confirmed", "dead", "recovered" but no info about age of patients.

My state publishes its statistics hourly. I looked at it just this morning, and was surprised to see that in the age breakdowns that there are more confirmed cases in people 20-40 than in 60-80.

  Is that still true when you adjust for the relative size of those groups? 20-40 is a larger group of people than 60-80.

    It's hard to say, because I don't have the time to do the math right now. But my state is generally considered to be retirement-friendly.

  Do you have a link to that data? Thanks.

  I am not surprised. People in the 20-40 range are more likely to be out in public exposing themselves to the virus. The elderly are by default socially distanced in this country. There has been no evidence I've seen that age affects likelihood of infection, but it does affect severity. In countries like Italy where very few young people have tested positive, it's due to test triage. You aren't going to spend tests on asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic 25yos.

  The absolute numbers aren't that interesting; you need those numbers as a percentage of the total people in that demographic.

In addition to that, I want to know the number of hospitalizations or deaths in those age groups. Even better would be to know the percentage of those hospitalized/dead that had underlying medical conditions.
