At the beginning of the pandemic, the primary victims of coronavirus were the elderly, but new data show the median age for victims of coronavirus has dropped, with medical professionals reporting that they are seeing more and more cases in 20- to 40-year-olds.
During the last week in June, more than 40% of COVID-19 hospitalized patients were 18 to 49 years old, and while younger people are less likely to get severely ill and die of COVID-19, they can spread it to older people who are more vulnerable to severe infection and death.
