data from the CDC
Data released on June 16th by the Centres for Disease Control (CDC) show that the countrys death toll skews significantly younger. There, people in their 80s account for less than half of all covid-19 deaths; people in their 40s, 50s and 60s, meanwhile, account for a significantly larger share of those who die. The median covid-19 sufferer in America is a 48-year-old; in Italy it is a 63-year-old.

Imagine if Food, Inc. was delivering real food to Americans instead of processed corn, soy and wheat, with a side of fake cheese and god only knows where it came from "meat" ? All this contributing to a poor diet, thus poor health before COVID19 even takes a whack at a compromised body.
