The graphs that show a huge uptick in cases should be labeled “known cases,” as they represent those that were tested. Tests have been rising int he United States for the last few weeks, resulting in a precipitous rise in cases, many in the 18-49 range. But the death rate for this age group is quite low. Most of the Covid-19 deaths, while tragic, remain above age 80, and involve pre-existing conditions. The anomalies — no preexisting conditions or young people, remain in the hundreds for the entire nation. This is compared with the 120,000-plus deaths now recorded.
