2. @ICNARC UK new ICU report icnarc.org/Our-Audit/Audi…
3. @kpnorcal @KPDOR Kaiser jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Collectively, along w/ the totality of evidence since #COVID19 hit, the risk for healthy, young people, while lower than the aged, is FAR from zero and cannot be predicted. Moving "low risk" reentry forward, w/o vast testing & tight surveillance, will lead to substantial deaths

A very good case for opening colleges in the Fall, WITH the right testing, tracing infrastructure (that doesn't exist now in the US), masks, and all the appropriate steps

If anyone thinks we can predict who among the US healthy young—-from a 6 week-old-baby or older—will die from #COVID19 or have a stroke, all you need is to @google & read these & tens of articles @washingtonpost, @CNN, @HuffPost, @WebMD. You'll quickly realize no one is "immune."
