New data shows a 44 increase over the past two weeks. Icu admissions following suit with a 34 jump in two weeks. But death rates are not following the same trend. Deaths lag well behind new cases in positivity. Does this mean we should expect a spike in three weeks . Not necessarily. According to ucsf lead epidemiologist dr. George rutherford.

Nonetheless, the clear data from florida that says, as cases go up in 20 to 30yearolds and 30 to 40yearolds, they go up in people over 60. So its not like those populations are isolated.
