US is 50% larger than in the 70's and demographics different

Avg Age in the US is 8 yrs older, with 100M more total people in our country.

1) We are older
2) We created more density in cities
3) We are fatter and sicker
4) Population is wildly greater

We should expect more deaths IMO. Doesn't mean disease is worse ... means we are immunity deficient and there are more targets for the virus IMO.
