People aged between 20 and 29 account for the largest number of coronavirus cases and the highest rate of infection in Australia, according to the Department of Health.show there’s a number of reasons for that.
“So we are seeing lots of spread in families and that will bring the average age down because we see children and young people infected in that environment as well.” This week, WHO emergencies chief Michael Ryan pleaded with young people to act responsibly after the number of infections among young people jumped in a number of countries.In NSW, Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the state was on a “knife edge” this week and asked young people to check their behaviour.
UK police have also been forced to shut down illegal parties and warn people to maintain their distance on the hottest day of the year on Friday. Beachgoers pack the beach in Brighton, on the south coast of England this week.

Coronavirus update: COVID-19 adds new uncertainty to campaign for White HouseUS President Donald Trump and Democratic rival Joe Biden search for places accept their parties' presidential nominations as the spread of the coronavirus adds fresh uncertainty to the campaign for the White House. The only way Trump wins is by cheating, like in 2016 It'd be so nice if you didn't rely on murican reporting to make this Twitter account viable. It's cool tho, some of us have been recording data and it won't be an issue much longer.

Victorians to pay for COVID-19 ‘in dollar terms or funerals’ | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews has refused to attach a cost to Victoria’s lockdowns but says the price will be paid “whether it be in dollar terms or in funerals”.\n\n“I’m not going to be trying to put a price tag on this, this is what we have to do,” Mr Andrews told reporters.\n\n“We have no choice but to reduce movement, reduce case numbers, otherwise this won’t be six weeks – it’ll be six months or longer – and we’ll have to continue to bury people.\n\n“We’ll have to continue to deal with an economy that’s essentially closed.”\n\nMr Andrews said if there was another way to solve the COVID-19 outbreak in his state then his government would take that option but they have had no alternative. \n\n“There is not the luxury of being able to choose an effective health strategy at the moment and one that would see economic growth,” he said.\n\n“We will not see these numbers reduce sufficient for us to open back up again unless we take these heartbreaking, difficult but completely necessary decisions.”\n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison on Thursday said Victoria’s combined stage three and four restrictions were expected to cost Australia’s GDP up to $12 billion through the September quarter.\n\n“That’s not a number that I’ve seen before,” Mr Andrews said.\n\nImage: Getty DanielAndrewsMP You can’t win or eradicate the virus - have to live with it and manage risks. Can’t all live off handouts from other people’s taxes DanielAndrewsMP Gas Lighting the public once again. He has put his own personal grievances above the entire public who suffer from the economic and psychological effects of this severe lockdown, over a virus that has a 99% survival rate for most age demographics.

Facebook censors Trump posts for COVID-19 'misinformation' | Sky News AustraliaSocial media giant Facebook has taken down a post by US President Donald Trump which the company claimed violated its rules against sharing coronavirus misinformation.\n\nThe post contained the above video clip from an interview with Fox & Friends on Wednesday, during which the president claimed children were 'almost immune' to COVID-19.\n\n'This video includes false claims that a group of people is immune from COVID-19, which is a violation of our policies around harmful COVID misinformation,' a Facebook spokesman said.\n\nA tweet containing the video posted by the Trump campaign's TeamTrump account and shared by the president was also later hidden by Twitter for breaking its COVID-19 misinformation rules.\n\nDuring a briefing at the White House, Trump repeated the claim the virus had little impact on children.\n\n'Children handle it very well,' President Trump said.\n\n'If you look at the numbers, in terms of mortality, fatalities... for children under a certain age ... their immune systems are very very strong and very powerful.\n\n'They seem to be able to handle it very well and that's according to every statistical claim.'\n\nFacebook has taken heat from Democratic lawmakers and its own employees in recent months for not taking action on inflammatory posts by President Trump.\n\nThe company previously removed ads from Trump's election campaign for breaking misinformation rules. \n\nFacebook also took down Trump posts and campaign ads that showed a red inverted triangle - claiming it was a symbol the Nazis used to identify political prisoners - for violating its policy against 'organized hate'.\n\nMr Zuckerberg admitted Facebook censored and prohibited content that would 'lead to imminent risk of harm'.\n\n'Stating that there is a proven cure for COVID, when there is in fact none might encourage them to go take something that could have some adverse effect. So we do take that down,' Mr Zuckerberg told the subcommittee.\n\n'We do not prohibit discussion around t realDonaldTrump But Facebook is Russian and Putin and stuff! realDonaldTrump Daddy Donald is my hero realDonaldTrump Now take down the rest of the rubbish posted.

Young people are avoiding COVID-19 news - what does that mean for health authorities?Capturing the attention of young people is essential to get the upper hand in this pandemic but it's not easy — they're overwhelmed and sceptical — but can we take any teachings from what they do care about? Means if they stop hearing the running death count and cases which would be no different to if they did a running death count for flu deaths in 2019 they might not have to live in fear and have the jobs taken their study's interrupted, and not end up killing themselves. Young people advoid all news full stop they think it’s boring, some of it is and biased Gen Z will push back
