Young adults unconcerned by virus 'may be killing other people'
1 / 2Young adults unconcerned by virus "may be killing other people"Young people are out enjoying the warmer weather across the country, but according to health officials, they also might be spreading and contracting the coronavirus. As people pack into parks, beaches, restaurants, bars and even concerts, cases are rising in at least 37 states, with surges among young people linked to everything from fitness classes to summer fraternity parties.
"If I get it, then, you live with your consequences," said Bojan Atanasovski, a 25-year-old West Palm Beach resident. Dr. Charles Lockwood, the senior vice president of University of South Florida Health, said he has observed a change in coronavirus cases over the last few weeks. "It really is consistent with what we've been observing, which is incredible noncompliance with wearing face masks, social distancing, particularly among young adults and teenagers," he said."The problem is that while you may not die and you may not even know you're sick, you may be killing other people," he said.
