STUDY: Younger adults are the main spreaders of COVID-19

Thu, 2021-02-04 19:23 — mike kraft

Age groups that sustain resurging COVID-19 epidemics in the United States Following initial declines, in mid 2020 a resurgence in transmission of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) occurred in the US and Europe. As COVID19 disease control efforts are re-intensified, understanding the age demographics driving transmission and how these affect the loosening of interventions is crucial. We analyze aggregated, age-specific mobility trends from more than 10 million individuals in the US and link these mechanistically to age-specific COVID-19 mortality data.
