Increases were larger in the Northeast (144%) and the Midwest (123%). The increase in cases was not only. attributable to an increase in tests, "said the CDC in one of the studies, involving a national analysis.
They point out that, while the overvoltage of the case of this age group could be motivated by many factors ", including changes in behavior or risk profiles resulting from multiple changes in social, economic and public policy during this Period ", it is probably probably due to the fact that more than 45% of the elderly 18-22 are enrolled in colleges and universities.

Dr. Anthony FauciThe main infectious infectious expert of the nation urges young Americans to act responsibly during the pandemic for this very reason.
"What I say to young people is that even if you are perceiving correctly - that chances are that if you are infected, you are not seriously sick statistically alone, even if you are not too confident because We now find that people from 18 to 34 have an increased incidence of hospitalization of the end. But putting it aside, when you are infected as a young, and you suppose you are not going to become seriously sick, the natural answer, which is innocent and that you know, doing nothing wrong or bad, you say that I do not hurt anyone. I'm infected. I'm in the void, "he explained During a recent interview with Actress Jennifer Garner.
"It's very incorrect because you are not in the void. The fact that you have left yourself infected means that you inadvertently spread yourself and individually spread the epidemic. And when you spread the epidemic, This is not with you because it is likely that you infect someone else who infect someone else. And so suddenly, someone is infected, which is vulnerable, the father and the mother Someone who has cancer chemotherapy, a woman who gets radiation for breast cancer, a child with immunodeficiency. "
"Even if you think life in a vacuum, you have two types of responsibilities," says Dr. Fauci. "One is an individual responsibility towards yourself. And the other is something you need to accept as a member of society. You have a social responsibility. You do not want to be part of the problem. You want to do part of the solution. "
"Do not let caution in the wind because you will not only hurt me. You will spread a bad thing, which is a pandemic." As for yourself, regardless of your age, to cross this pandemic with your healthiest, do not miss these 35 places you are most likely to catch Covid .
