In my state the highest infection rate is amongst 30 - 39 year olds. Which is what you'd expect. That's an age where you have ppl with kids and ppl who are still going out socially. So it's is expected to spread faster than through other groups.

That said it's only a .003% death rate. So yeah we should focus all this fake outrage into real outrage and protect the vulnerable. I'mma keep screaming this. THEY ARE LETTING OLD PPL DIE AT ALARMING RATES DO TO THEM FOCUSING ON EVERYBODY FOR NO REASON.

you know that there are 330 million people living in the us. Let’s just say 100 million of those was in the age range you speak. Even with a .003% death rate that is still 300,000 people dead which we haven’t even come close to hitting. people are strange when The throw out percentages. Context matter. Just like when they say this thing would only kill 1-3% of the US population. In a Country of 330 million people, that means 3-9 million people die. That’s what we are looking at. We are still in the 100,000s. That’s the reality of how bleak things could get.

'We'll be fine': University students test positive for coronavirus after attending a party

University students test positive for coronavirus after attending a party

By Bianka Farmakis| 13 hours ago


Three university students in the United States have tested positive for coronavirus after going to a party in their college town.

The University of Florida women were roommates living on campus, and decided to attend a party after rationalising their town "barely [had] any" cases.

In a since-deleted TikTok video, graduate Lauren Bouskila, 21, posted images of the three women sipping drinks at the party, with the caption, "My roommates and I decided to go out for a drink".

"Gainesville barely has any cases. We'll be fine. Bars enforce safety regulations," the post continued.

According to the Daily Mail, the trio began experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, including fevers, sweating and stomach cramps, a few days later.

In a follow-up video from Bouskila, the young woman appeared dishevelled and ill.

"I'm actually so sick. Just woke up in a puddle of sweat," she wrote.


"If you look at that 25 to 34 age group, that is now by far the leading age group for positive tests." (TikTok)

Bouskila shared additional images, one depicting her receiving the drive-through test for COVID-19. Her temperature recorded at 101.4 F (38.5 C), several degrees higher than the average temperature for a fever.

A screenshot of her test results confirmed the 21-year-old was "COVID-19 Positive."

Describing her symptoms, Bouskila said she had "just coughed up an organ," and later revealed all three of the roommates had tested positive for the virus.

Within a day, her video had been viewed over a million times before she deleted it.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis previously condemned young residents for the spike in cases, as the Washington Post had labelled the sunshine state a new epicentre of the virus.

"They're going to do what they're going to do," DeSantis said at a press conference, addressing the failure to comply with social distancing measures.

"If you look at that 25 to 34 age group, that is now by far the leading age group for positive tests."

Florida has the fifth highest number of coronavirus cases in the United States, with over 152,000 confirmed cases.

A report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found nearly 40 per cent of patients hospitalised for coronavirus in the United States were aged between 20 - 54.

California man shares regret over attending party, dies next day of COVID-19



Fifty-one-year-old Tommy Macias shared his regret after going to a barbecue and testing positive for coronavirus. He passed away the next day.

LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. -- Fifty-one-year-old Tommy Macias of California shared his regret on Facebook after going to a barbecue and testing positive for coronavirus.

"Because of my stupidity, I put my mom and sisters and my family's health in jeopardy. This has been a very painful experience," posted Macias.

Macias died the day he went into the hospital.

According to his Facebook page, Macias lived in Lake Elsinore in Riverside County.

His family says Macias was a diabetic and had been careful wearing masks and social distancing for months.

His niece, Danielle Lopez said, "It was absolutely shocking. I wasn't in the room when my mom got the call. I heard her cry out. I still don't want to believe it."

A day before Macias was taken to the hospital, he uploaded the poignant message to Facebook, begging people to wear masks in public.

His family created a fundraiser to help with funeral expenses.

Alabama man dies of COVID-19, family says he refused to wear mask

Alabama man dies of COVID-19, family says he refused to wear mask

by ANNIE MAPP, WBMA Staff

Friday, July 10th 2020

Tuscaloosa native, Joe Hinton, died of COVID-19. (Hinton Family)<p>{/p}
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WBMA) — A Tuscaloosa family is encouraging people to wear masks after their father died of COVID-19.

Amy and Tyler Hinton say their father, Joe Hinton, thought COVID-19 was a hoax and didn't believe in wearing masks.

"He did not want to wear a mask, he did not think that it was a very big deal. He thought, like a lot of people, that it was being blown out of proportion," Amy said about her father.
Joe Hinton was 78-years-old and a diabetic, so his family urged him to take care of himself during the pandemic.


"He was like I'm not going to stop living my life, no matter what we did or said or begged him," Amy said.
"I told him 'dad I know you're not going to wear a mask, but you should still try to stay as far away from people as you can,' and he just wouldn't do it," Tyler added.


Hinton, who is an Air Force Veteran, stuck by his beliefs and continued living normally.

"I told him dad if you get this, you're probably going to die, and the hospital isn't going to let me see you, and he said 'yeah I know,'" Tyler said.

Hinton developed a rough cough and decided to get tested for COVID-19. His results came back positive June 18th.

"Our joke between us was,' daddy's not going to stay home for two weeks,' but he promised us," Amy said.

Tyler says he wasn't shocked when his dad called him with the positive result.

"We had actually made plans to see each other, and he said 'well we're going to have to actually put that on hold, I got COVID,' and I kind of knew that was going to be it," Tyler said.
Hinton's symptoms worsened quickly.

"I'd call and check on him and calls were very brief probably five minutes long, and I'd ask how are your symptoms, Friday he said, no better no worse, Saturday he said, no better no worse but Sunday, on Father's day, he was struggling, and I knew then it wasn't good," Tyler said.

"I was kind of in a panic, I could tell that something wasn't right," Amy said.

Although the family urged Hinton to go to the hospital on Father's Day, he refused. Hinton could barely respond to his family Monday morning, so they decided to call him an ambulance around 9 a.m. He died less than three hours later.

Hinton passed away June 22, less than five days after testing positive. His cause of death was respiratory failure caused by COVID-19.

Amy says it's very frustrating seeing people not wearing a mask after her father died for refusing to wear one.

"I don't understand why it's so inconvenient to wear a mask, if we know that can help stop the spread. If you're so against it, just don't go anywhere," she said.

"The most important thing for people to take away from this is, you don't want yourself or your loved one to have gone the way that he went which was alone, the only support he had was me on the phone, and I don't even know if he could hear, and if you get admitted to the hospital, you're going to die alone, and that's such a difficult thing to wrap your mind around," Tyler said.
The siblings said COVID-19 is real and their dad's story is a prime example.

"I think that his death should mean something, and it shouldn't be just a senseless tragedy that my family has had to go through, and I think that he would be proud and he's up there saying ' I guess I was wrong," but if I can convince one person to wear a mask, that is one more person that could possibly have it and be asymptomatic and not cause someone else to lose their dad," Amy said.

Joe Hinton's family said he had a big heart, loved Tuscaloosa and had hopes of watching Alabama Football play in the fall.
