Data indicates that the new infections seen across the country "are targeting younger individuals," CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield said on a conference call with reporters. Redfield said that while young people face a lower risk of severe disease and death due to Covid-19, a high rate of infection among young Americans increases the chances that they go on to infect older, at-risk people.
"We may need to get out the message that young people are not somehow naturally immune to this virus, although they may be at lower risk of severe infection," he said. "The tools that can be used include social media. We're exploring TikTok." Representatives of TikTok were not immediately available to comment on whether the CDC has been in touch about a public health campaign.
Multiple officials in states with expanding outbreaks have attributed the rise in cases to young people failing to practice social distancing at bars that are overcapacity. In Florida, the average age of an infected person has continued to decline in recent weeks. On Wednesday, the state reported that the average age of patients was 33 years old, down from over 65 years old in March.
Millennials have been looking for an advantage over boomers for years. COVID finally gives them one. How else can they eventually fill those top jobs if boomers don’t retire or die?
Why does this pandering Putz still have a job? And is he the director or deputy director? bageldrumphf
Yeah no I don’t give a fuck anymore. People can gather is masses and protest and I can’t drink a beer in a bar and play pool with my friends. Fuck this pandemic, I could care less about this virus.
Here’s an idea, condemn the looting that has caused the spikes
So hand to the CCP? Nope!!!
God don’t say that, Trump will designate Youngsters as a Domestic Terror Organisation
Who can I learn to ride with?
Americans are fucked. They can't fix problems. They'll stop the coronavirus right after they end mass/school shootings, the opiod crisis, 💰in politics, faith in politics, broken schools, unaffordable education, broken heathcare, access to clean drinking water, child poverty...

Someone’s gotta keep the US machine pumping. We can’t just sit back and let it crumble
That will go over well
Strike the Iron when it is hot.
Redfield is just the guy to break through to the TikTok crowd. I hear the Amish look is in these days.
There is no cure for the young's conviction that they are immortal.
Don’t you know , young people are invincible!! Lol.
Wash your hands!
The cdc, the epitome of failed government agencies. Might as well throw the WHO in there while your at it...
Why would a US federal agency give money to a Chinese social media platform that was just used to interfere with a US political campaign? Insane.
❤😍
Yes, tweak the message a bit. Meanwhile, the EU is banning Americans from traveling to Europe due to, and I'm paraphrasing here, stupidity!MAGA
Get some TikTok influencers to send a cool message for the young folks. Some kind of challenge they can all share on TikTok. Or get K-pop stars to message. That’ll get them going.
Yeah TikTok has been great for Trump 🤣
Boiiiii if you don’t look at these Middle Aged people and millenials on twitter and Facebook omg most of us kids are tryingggg man y’all just entitled as hell
