Nearly 30% of US coronavirus cases have been among people 20-44 years old, the CDC says - showing that young people are getting sick, too
29% of confirmed US coronavirus cases have been in people between the ages of 20 and 44.
However, cases are still most common among older Americans — that's clear when the data is adjusted for the population size in each age group.
One in five people in the US hospitalized with coronavirus have been between 20 and 44.
The same group made up 12% of coronavirus ICU admissions.
US coronavirus death rates, however, are still far lower for younger Americans than among older age groups.
