Just to touch on a topic mentioned in the podcast about the vulnerable population, the statistics here in Maricopa County, Arizona (which encompasses the greater Phoenix area) are just stunning.

Data here: Maricopa County Health Department and Maricopa County Daily Covid-19 Summary

65+ years old: 22% of cases, 89% of deaths
Chronic medical condition: 25% of cases, 66% of deaths
High risk (65+ OR 1+ chronic medical condition): 37% of cases, 95% of deaths.
20-44 years old: 40% of cases, 2% of deaths

Yes, that's 95% of the deaths in the High Risk category. No one under 19 has died. Out of the 343 deaths reported so far, 247 (72%) were residents of long term care facilities.
