This person coordinated the Ebola response, writing on the US early response and political complacency.
The US hasn’t been testing for COVID. Under 500 by last Wednesday

This, from Scientific American
Whilst risk of mortality rises with age younger people with
underlying conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease and cancer are at much higher risk of dying.
Males more than females.
