Not sure that's true. The average age of infected is much lower than it was a couple months ago. It's likely that more people who aren't at risk of serious complications are being infected now and we're testing much more than we had been -- including people w/o symptoms. A couple months ago most people who weren't considered at-risk couldn't get a test even if they had symptoms.
- therealdrag0 6y agoAnyone have a source for cases over time by age? I’ve heard it hypothesized but never supported. I agree it’s plausible but we need evidence before confidence.
