California backtracks on the reasons for the teenagers death...
Half of the more than 2,000 Californians who’ve tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, are between the ages of 18 and 49, Newsom said in his daily evening Facebook Live briefing.
About a fourth of the state’s confirmed coronavirus patients are between the age of 50 to 64, and another quarter were 65 or older.
“Young people can and will be impacted by this virus,” Newsom said, urging the state’s younger residents to stay home to avoid spreading the virus.

The Department of Homeland Security
has been briefed that New York City’s morgues are nearing capacity,
according to a department official and a second person familiar with the
situation.
Officials were told that morgues in
the city are expected to reach capacity next week, per the briefing. A
third person familiar with the situation in New York said that some of
the city’s hospital morgues hit capacity over the last seven days. And a
FEMA spokesperson told POLITICO that New York has asked for emergency
mortuary assistance. Hawaii and North Carolina have asked for mortuary
help as well, and the disaster response agency is currently reviewing
the requests, according to the spokesperson.
If the available morgue space in New
York City fills up as the number of COVID-19 deaths increases, federal
help will be available, a former senior administration official said,
noting that the George W. Bush administration sent mortuary assistance
in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the September 11 attacks.
The Army is gauging interest from retired officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers who would be willing to assist with the coronavirus pandemic
response effort should their skills and expertise be required,
according to an email sent out Wednesday afternoon and provided to Army
Times.
“These extraordinary challenges require equally extraordinary solutions
and that’s why we’re turning to you — trusted professionals capable of
operating under constantly changing conditions," the email reads. "When
the Nation called — you answered, and now, that call may come again.”
