CDC COVIDView: Key Updates for Week 23, ending June 6, 2020
cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
Nationally, levels of influenza-like illness (ILI) and COVID-19-like illness (CLI) continue to decline or remain stable at low levels.
Cumulative COVID-19-associated hospitalization rates since March 1, 2020, are updated weekly. The overall cumulative COVID-19 hospitalization rate is 89.3 per 100,000, with the highest rates in people aged 65 years and older (273.8 per 100,000) and 50-64 years (136.1 per 100,000)
While the number of COVID-19 cases reported to CDC is cumulative and continues to increase, nationally, the proportion of visits to outpatient providers EDs for illnesses with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 continued to decline or remain stable at low levels.
Cumulative hospitalization rates for COVID-19 in adults (18-64 years) at this time are higher than cumulative end-of-season hospitalization rates for influenza over each of the past 5 influenza seasons.
For people 65 years and older, current cumulative COVID-19 hospitalization rates are within ranges of cumulative influenza hospitalization rates observed at comparable time points* during recent influenza seasons.
For children (0-17 years), cumulative COVID-19 hospitalization rates are much lower than cumulative influenza hospitalization rates at comparable time points* during recent influenza seasons.
ILI well below baseline for all age groups.
On a regional level, the percentage of outpatient visits for ILI ranged from 0.4% to 1.1% during week 23. All ten regions are at low levels and below their region-specific baselines.
1.6 of Emergency Room visits for COVID-LIke illness. Well down from peak of 7%.
School age (5 to 17) hospitalizations, cumulative for the year:

COVID (through week 23): 3.1 per 100,000 population

Lab-confirmed influenza (through week 17): 24.8 per 100,000 population
7.3%. Still above epidemic threshold of 6.2%
Pneumonia and influenza down to 5.6%, below epidemic threshold. It's non-pneumonia COVID-deaths keeping us above.

Yes keep punishing children; ignore all the actual observational data from around the world because you don't like me. Great advice.
Half an hour later and this dipstick comes up with this pathetic reply. Extended school closures when children are at far, far lower risk from SARS-CoV2 than seasonal flu are plainly anti-child. This is pathetic. Next he'll go with Drosten's fake paper.
Well all the real ones point the other way... unless you try to reach all the way back to Shenzhen and ignore everything since. So weird how Mr. follow the experts ignores the top experts. Because politics.

Same phenomenon seen in Pennsylvania as Italy:

Yealy further said, among people who test positive, “the total amount of the virus the patient has is much less than in the earlier stages of the pandemic.”

“Your risk of getting into a car accident if you go back and forth across the turnpike in Pennsylvania is greater than your risk of being positive for asymptomatic COVID-19 infection,” he said.
“This should give you some reassurance that the risk of catching COVID-19 … from someone who doesn’t even know they have the infection, in our communities, is very small.”
