I'm live now with some sobering #COVID19VT facts: https://bit.ly/3dUt0UY #VTers of all ages are testing positive. Anyone still thinking this is only impacting elderly & those with preexisting conditions is wrong. It can infect any of us. That is why we are #InThisTogether.
This is an equal opportunity virus.
#COVID19VT cases by age in #VT as of today:
80+yo=59
70-70=72
60-69=95
50-59=105
40-49=78
30-39=81
20-29=72
10-19=13
Total=575.
42% poz cases are 49yo or younger and they were only tested because symptoms were bad enough to need a test.

To me, these stats mean many MORE younger people have been infected than tested. With the nice weather, we are seeing more #VTers still NOT not social distancing...letting kids intermingle and hang out.
If any of these young people have been infected, they could be vectors and spreading it without even knowing it. It can be tempting to send kids outside, but right now the #StayAtHome 
order is meant to prevent infections.
Regardless of age, everyone can be spreading this virus.

I share this not to scare people, rather to remind everyone we all need to do our part to keep each other safe.
