From NY Post
The majority of New York City residents who have tested positive for the coronavirus are men between the ages of 18 and 49, according to newly released public health data.
Even though experts say the elderly are the hardest hit by the virus, just 46% of the city’s COVID-19 patients are over 50 while 54% are 18-49. The remaining 2% of cases are people age 5 to 17.
Women are underrepresented in the city’s tally while men account for 59% of infected people.
Sometime last week Dallas, with the most cases in Texas, said either the majority or all the critical cases were from ages 19 to 40.
Creep Thumper, I think, mentioned there were 2 strains. Whoever posted please take credit.

When I was diagnosed with cancer. The doctor would not give me an estimate of how long I had.
I later came to find out when patients were given a date of how long they have,Inevitably that’s how long they live

Yea, I know. Trump RT'd it yesterday. It's over 35,000 now but who's counting. Does it matter. Nobody counted like this with all past flu's that happen every winter/spring and much higher deaths. Higher the number, the more $$$. Pneumonia alone kills around 4 million annually.
Anosmia, the loss of sense of smell, and ageusia, an accompanying diminished sense of taste, have emerged as peculiar telltale signs of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, and possible markers of infection.

They are trying to expand the symptoms so people will go and take the test. A test that is inaccurate, and false positives tweak the numbers to cause more panic.
There are reports all over of famous and non-famous just taking the test even without any symptoms, and they end up positive. Research it.
Objective: As the prevention and control of COVID-19continues to advance, the active nucleic acid test screening in the close contacts of the patients has been carrying out in many parts of China. However, the false-positive rate of positive results in the screening has not been reported up to now. But to clearify the false-positive rate during screening is important in COVID-19 control and prevention. Methods: Point values and reasonable ranges of the indicators which impact the false-positive rate of positive results were estimated based on the information available to us at present. The false-positive rate of positive results in the active screening was deduced, and univariate and multivariate-probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to understand the robustness of the findings. Results: When the infection rate of the close contacts and the sensitivity and specificity of reported results were taken as the point estimates, the positive predictive value of the active screening was only 19.67%, in contrast, the false-positive rate of positive results was 80.33%. The multivariate-probabilistic sensitivity analysis results supported the base-case findings, with a 75% probability for the false-positive rate of positive results over 47%. Conclusions: In the close contacts of COVID-19 patients, nearly half or even more of the 'asymptomatic infected individuals' reported in the active nucleic acid test screening might be false positives.

POTUS tonight declared a State of War.
Many didn't realize the gravity, because planes hadn't just sunk our Pacific Fleet.
This time our enemy is in the shadows.
They are attacking us economically in congress, and biologically at our places of work.
WE THE PEOPLE will fight, and we will WIN!
