"CDC report offers detailed demographic breakdown of who is getting coronavirus
By Andrea Kane and Paul LeBlanc, CNN"
"Updated 10:01 PM ET, Mon June 15, 2020"
"New numbers released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offer a comprehensive picture of who in the United States has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and how they fared."
"The report found that the incidence rate is 403.6 cases per 100,000, with men and women getting sick at almost the same rate. But the percentages of males who were hospitalized (16%), admitted to the ICU (3%) and who died (6%) were higher than were those for females (12%, 2% and 5%, respectively)."
"The rate was highest among people 80 and older and lowest among children 9 and younger. But the relationship between age and incidence rate was not a straight line: It was higher among peoples age 40-49 years and 50-59 years than among those age 60-69 years and 70-79 years."

The above facts demolish the idea among many Trumper's that opening up is ok because its just a disease that mainly effects older people above the age of 60. WRONG! This new data from the CDC shows that people between the ages of 40 to 59 are at GREATER risk than those from age 60 to 79, when it comes to the impact of covid-19 or their health.
So no, the fantasy of just locking down all those old senior citizens while everyone goes about their business would not work even if it was possible.
