That's because more younger people are getting it now and less older people are getting it.

I don’t know if I’m throwing people to the wolves (or really they are just throwing themselves) but could this be helpful for herd immunity?

Coronavirus is weakening, could die out on its own without a vaccine and patients now survive infections that would have killed them at start of the pandemic, claims Italian expert

Professor Matteo Bassetti has again claimed the virus is getting weaker
Said it may have mutated and weakened or people infected with small amounts


The coronavirus, once an 'aggressive tiger' of a disease, has weakened and become more like a wild cat, according to a top Italian doctor.

Professor Matteo Bassetti said he is convinced the virus is 'changing in severity' and patients are now surviving infections that would have killed them before.
And if the virus's weakening is true, Covid-19 could even disappear without a for a vaccine by becoming so weak it dies out on its own, he claimed.

On day of phase 2 reopening, Montgomery County’s COVID-19 case increase stays low
Data show nine of 10 benchmarks met or showing 'significant progress'

On the day Montgomery County will move into the second phase of its reopening, state officials reported 66 new cases of COVID-19 in the county, a 0.5% increase from the day prior.
Montgomery County’s single-day increase in cases has now been less than 1% for seven of the last eight days.
Also, the latest data show Montgomery County hitting or making significant progress on nine of 10 benchmarks. In the most recent data, posted Thursday afternoon, the benchmark for the percentage of acute care hospital beds in use was met for the first time.

At 5 p.m. Friday, some social distancing restrictions will be lifted in the county to allow indoor dining, indoor religious services, use of public gyms and gatherings of up to 50 people.
The decision, announced Monday, was made because the county has “achieved its benchmarks,” which are data used as guidance to determine when it is safe to lift more restrictions for businesses and amenities.
The nine benchmarks that the dashboard shows to be met or showing significant progress as of Thursday afternoon are:

● COVID-19 related hospitalizations: 185 (three-day average); 14 declining days
● Number of COVID-19 related emergency room patients: four (three-day average); 14 declining days
● COVID-19 related intensive-care unit hospitalizations: 73 (three-day average); 14 declining days
● ICU bed utilization rate: 61% (three-day average); the county benchmark of 80% or less has been met for 14 days
● Percentage of ventilators in use: 43% (three-day average); the county benchmark of 70% or less has been met for 14 days
● Test positivity: 7% (three-day average); 14 declining days
● Number of COVID-19 new deaths each day: four (three-day average); 13 declining days
● Number of new confirmed positive cases each day: 68 (three-day average); 12 declining days
● Acute care bed utilization rate: 68% (three-day average); the county benchmark of 70% or less has been met for 12 days
The one benchmark that the dashboard shows hasn’t been met is:
● Tests administered: 1,113 (three-day average); 3.9% testing capacity in the last 30 days (the county’s goal is to test 5% of its population each month)
The county added three new confirmed deaths related to COVID-19 on Friday, according to state data. The total of confirmed deaths in the county is now 670.

Another 40 deaths are considered “probable,” meaning COVID-19 is listed as the cause on a death certificate but it has not been confirmed through a laboratory test.
In Maryland, there have been 63,548 cases of the coronavirus, according to Friday morning’s data. That’s an increase of 319 cases, or 0.5%, from Thursday.
There have been 2,901 confirmed deaths in Maryland. The state’s positivity rate is 5.4%.

This is great news, and I really appreciate that you shared it. Let's stay safe, keep up the good work! We can do this, we really can.

Being exposed to cold viruses often in the cold climate+ hgh density might be the answer.

Plus.... NYC is 20 hour flight awa from Wuhan, do you really thng the virus did not get to NY once it was in Wuhan?
By the time NYC cosed, it was going around .

Maryland is doing great!... Considering that population of Maryland is 6.046 million.. and that there
are per Google 72 hospitals, that is circa 4 ICU covid related use of beds per hospital.

" In Maryland state total 72 hospitals"


Maryland’s COVID-19 Positivity Rate Drops to 6.55%, ICU Beds Fall Below 300 For First Time In 10 Weeks

Fantastic! For the whole state only 100 new cases, that is about as many as we had in MoCo two weeks ago..
they are doing good.
