Title: Report 32 - Age groups that sustain resurging COVID-19 epidemics in the United States | Faculty of Medicine | Imperial College London

URL: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-infectious-disease-analysis/covid-19/report-32-us/

Collection: Global Health Events web archive

Description: This 32-page report discusses how adults aged 20-49 are a main driver of the COVID-19 epidemic in the United States; yet, in areas with resurging epidemics, opening schools will lead to more COVID-19-attributable deaths, so more targeted interventions in the 20-49 age group could bring epidemics under control, avert deaths, and facilitate the safe reopening of schools.

Excess non-COVID-19 deaths could be due to non-reporting of COVID-19 on the death certificate or an increase in mortality for non-COVID-19 conditions.
