but total positive cases do during the past 6-8 weeks when the surge hit. That's when the 'total number' of infected skyrocketed.....and a breakdown that had just under 30's would actually be more representative, Going to 49 kind of skews the numbers, and doesn't isolate numbers for 17 to 30 demographic, which is what we're talking about. . Up here they do a narrower breakdown, which shows it's coming primarily from under 30's, which is publicly stated by the Health Director, county & state.Following the data though and blaming this on the "youth" isn't very accurate. If you look at % positive in each age group (which is the best indicator against the overall picture, not just raw positive cases) and the percentages don't bear out that claim. Among 5-17 age group and 18-49 age group and the percent positive of tests don't show spikes. The 18-49 age group actually see's a decrease in % positive in the more recent weeks as compared to the earlier weeks.
