While the death toll from the coronavirus pandemic has skewed towards older people, the pandemic is being driven by people in their 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s, according to the World Health Organization.
WHO officials say many younger people who are spreading the virus are asymptomatic and don’t even realized they’ve been infected.

What do you think is the most effective way to stop the virus? Should the government be able to enforce measures like mask orders or restaurant capacities?
