NEW: In a conference call with governors, VP Mike Pence warned that young people across the country are increasingly testing positive for coronavirus, a trend that's worrying experts as nearly half of states are reporting overall increases in infections.

"The case fatality rate will go down as cases get younger," Dr. Andrew Noymer, a Public Health Professor at University of California Irvine, told ABC News."I don't know if it's good or bad -- it is what it is."

On a call with governors last week, Dr. Deborah Birx raised the idea that cases of the disease across the country also appear to be"less severe" than they were earlier in the pandemic, though it was unclear yet as to why. "And a theory is that perhaps older people are doing a better job of social distancing," McDeavitt continued."They may be staying home in greater numbers and perhaps we're seeing a younger population admitted to the hospitals, she said. We don't know that. But that's one of the areas that we're looking at right now."

The statues are super spreaders!

DanCas2 Those darn hooligans, doing exactly what we told them to do!

Yep, cesspool.

Wasn't a concern 3 months ago!!! 🙏🇺🇸😷💜✌

Why don't you show a picture of the protesters? Oh, doesn't fit your narrative. 🙄

olddominiongirl This isn't surprising. Young people have always believed that they were invincible and nothing could touch them, so no masks in public or social distancing for them. As usual, so many have to learn reality the hard way!

And people like this guy POLICEBTUTALITY SEANHANNITY Rules do not apply to thevwhiteprivilege MAGA NO CHOKEHOLD NO GUN SHOT NO CALL TON9-1-1

You can't outrun the virus young bucks!

Trump administration led the young to believe that they can’t get the virus. They should be held accountable. Also Fox News is spreading lies

But the President said the warm weather will clear the whole thing right up in April or May. It will disappear

PuestoLoco Stay the hell off the damn beaches

Couldn’t possibly be all the massless looters that destroyed Downtown two weeks ago.

Wow!I wonder Why!

Wrong Photo ABC. Packed Protests both peaceful and violent are the reason.

ProjectLincoln gtconway3d TheRickWilson I thought your boss said we were going to reduce testing so we wouldn’t have so many testing positive! He’s going to be so mad at you ...

Nah it's just increased testing, said the MoronInChief 🙄😑

Yeah, sure, now he's warning people about the virus but back in January it was a hoax that would go away by April Sad... PenceIsSad TrumpMeltdown TrumpPandemic

News coming out of Florida and Texas. We are suppose to believe those crazy governors?

Trump said the less you test, the fewer cases of COVID there are 😆

Is testing positive for COVID a death sentence or guaranteed hospital admission?

Well if Mike Pence says so it must be happening

What a frigin lie. There are more cases because there is more testing. Most people don't even know they have it and 99+% of those that do survive. Sick of the ABC, NBC, CNN et al lies and half truths. Politically motivated.

The important number, hospitalizations, are not.

mike pence WARNED? the same mike pence who refuses to wear a mask even when asked by the hosts to wear a mask? can’t have it both ways... VoteThemALLOut COVIDIOTS pencethepawn

Is it selfish for the healthy to protect the sick?

Wow he is concerned and yet doesn’t set the example by simply wearing a mask.

Mike you’ve had 6 months to get the Contact tracing running efficiently. Assuming it’s going well

Thanks for that Pence. We already heard this morning from CNN and MSMBC.

There goes grandma...

He's always late to the party. And doesn't bring anything to share or for the hosts.

Young people won't die either

Everyone will eventually be exposed to Covid 19

Gee, I wonder why?

probably because it's not a virus.

'We are seeing more people test positive under the age of 35, particularly in our discussions with the leadership in Florida and in Texas,' Pence said on a conference call with state governors Monday, according to audio of the call obtained by News.
