New study on Italy shows 70% of covid 19 positives under age 60 are asymptomatic.

Median age of Florida positives is dropping a lot

Percent of deaths per case is also dropping (blue line)

So the spike we are seeing is mostly younger people. They think they are invulnerable, don't wear masks a lot, and also like to participate in protests, go to bars etc. Average age of protesters is mid 20s.

Death count lags positive tests by 3-4 weeks, I don't expect a lot of deaths from these spikes as it is mostly younger people, but they can spread it to us and are often asymptomatic. Beware the MIllennials
