    Document: is the (which was not peer-reviewed) The copyright holder for this preprint . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.05.20054700 doi: medRxiv preprint Several factors likely contribute to the heterogeneous distribution of COVID-19 burden across the U.S. The first of these is demography. A consistent trend in COVID-19 case distributions in the U.S. 6 and elsewhere 7 has been markedly higher incidence in older age groups (noting that observed cases do not necessarily reflect total infections). Several different mechanisms, including differential susceptibility or transmission potential between age classes, could potentially give rise to these patterns 8 . However, differences in symptomatic infection rate between age groups has emerged as the most parsimonious explanation 7, 8 . Rates of hospitalization and intensive care unit admission have also been observed to be higher in older individuals 9 .
