The U.S. on Thursday saw another day of record cases that surpassed 50,000. Dr. Jerome Adams said while the death rate has remained flat amid the surge in infections, "deaths lag at least two weeks and can lag even more."

"In the beginning, nursing homes were hit really hard, and the majority of our deaths were occurring on people who were 60, 65 and older," he said Friday on "Fox & Friends". "Now the majority of cases are in people who have an average age of 35, and so those folks are going to have less comorbidities, they're going to be less likely to end up in the hospital and to die."

He urged young people to protect their grandparents by social distancing and wearing face masks.

2. And keep in mind that, two weeks ago...

...we were averaging between 18,000 and 25,000 cases per day. In fact, it was a day less than two weeks ago that we started to see our first big jump, up to 37,000.
