As cases of COVID-19 continue to surge across the country, understanding how the virus works, who is most likely to get it, and how it commonly spreads are crucial to flattening the curve. Researchers recently spent time studying major outbreaks across the country, and have managed to identify the group of people who are most likely to get the virus first: young adults.

Increases in Young Person Cases Predicated Surges
"Understanding whether increasing incidence in hotspot counties is predominantly occurring in specific age groups is important for identifying opportunities to prevent or reduce transmission," the study explains.
So, for the study, the CDC analyzed trends in the positivity rate — a precursor of infections, hospitalizations, and death rate — by age group in 767 hotspot counties before and after they were identified as such. What they found is that early increases in the positivity rate of people under the age of 24, often predicted a surge of cases in those 25 and over.

"We expect, as we go into December, that we might see a surge superimposed upon that surge that we're already in,” Dr. Fauci said.Coronavirus cases are skyrocketing, leading to overflowing hospitals and more and more people dying, with states fast approaching the high levels of the Spring. We are all—no matter your political affiliation, or where you live—in a "very precarious position," says Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease doctor and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

31.8% of patients surveyed experienced this
"Encephalopathy, which is characterized by altered mental function ranging from mild confusion to coma, is the most severe neurologic manifestation of COVID-19," said study co-author Dr. Igor Koralnik, who oversees the Neuro COVID-19 Clinic at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. "We're studying this in patients who are discharged from the hospital, as well as in COVID-19 'long-haulers,' who have never been hospitalized but also suffer from a similar range of neurological problems, including brain fog," he added.

"COVID-19 causes dizziness and other symptoms related to the nervous system because the virus wears on the lungs and heart, making it difficult for oxygen to get to the brain. Study authors also suggest the virus may infect the brain directly, and the immune system's response could cause inflammation that damages the brain and nerves," reports Topeka ENT.

Dysgeusia is a sudden loss of your sense of taste. "Anemia and presumably the poor oxygen transport that ensues has been shown to result in dysgeusia. The unusual feature of a mild clinical picture in some patients with COVID-19 in spite of severe measured hypoxia may explain why dysgeusia is reported in some patients in the early stages of COVID-19," reports a study in the Elsevier Public Health Emergency Collection.

The CDC Just Warned About Dining Indoors in Certain Restaurants
When asked about transmission of COVID-19 in indoor areas the CDC official didn’t hesitate to note that “restaurant dining” is especially concerning."You know, the surge upon surge is obviously a concern," Henry Walke, MD, COVID-19 Incident Manager, admitted. "We have never really gone back down to the baseline." He explained that after an increase of cases over the summer and another surge following that, cases never came below 20,000 or 10,000 cases per day. "So as we approached the fall, we saw this rapid increase an exponential increase in cases," he continued.

Altogether, "Increases in percent positivity among older age groups began after the increases in younger age groups: Among adults aged 25-44 years, 45-64 years, and ≥65 years, increases began 28 days, 23 days, and 20 days, respectively, before hotspot identification."
"In hotspot counties, particularly those in the South and West, percent positivity increased earliest in younger persons, followed by several weeks of increasing percent positivity among older age groups," they continued. "An increase in the percentage of positive test results in older age groups is likely to result in more hospitalizations, severe illnesses, and deaths."

Peer Pressure is Partly to Blame
Another MMWR report sought to understand why younger people are more likely to spread the virus, interviewing people in Winnebago County, Wisconsin during an outbreak. Researchers claimed that "perceived low severity of disease outcome; perceived responsibility to others; peer pressure; and exposure to misinformation, conflicting messages, or opposing views regarding masks were identified as drivers of behaviors that might influence risk for COVID-19 exposure among young adults."
Therefore, more focus needs to be put on reducing the infection rate amongst younger people — and education might be key.
"Addressing transmission among young adults is an urgent public health priority," the CDC writes in the first report. As for yourself: To get through this pandemic at your healthiest, don't miss these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.
