Data compiled by the CDC on over 380,000 COVID-19-related deaths for which age was available pins those aged 85 and over with the highest percentage of deaths (32), and mortality declines by age.
This Viewpoint from the CDC summarizes global data about SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks at K-12 schools and emphasizes implementation of community- and school-based policies shown to diminish spread of infection that would allow safer resumption of in-person education in the 2021/22 school year. As of October 8, 2019, 49 states, the District of Columbia, and one territorial health department have reported 1,299 cases of EVALI to CDC, with 26 deaths reported from 21 states (median age of death = 49 years, range = 17-75 years). New CDC guidelines say that people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 can go without masks in indoor settings with others who have also gotten their shots.
Optimal nutrition can improve well-being and might mitigate the risk and morbidity associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). To assist infection control staff in critically assessing the value of these recommendations, we developed a ranking scheme that takes into account considerations of scientific validity, applicability. CDC has developed interim guidance for how healthcare providers, laboratories, and public health staff should use antibody tests for COVID-19.
