WA
Most of the state-by-state updates I have posted that include age related data show the majority of cases being under the age of 60. Washington seems to be the outlier. Is that because of that one nursing home cluster?

BAGHDAD
The U.S. State Department has ordered some U.S. government employees at diplomatic facilities in Iraq to leave the country due to “security conditions and restricted travel options” as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the country’s embassy in Iraq said.
Thanks for all of the updates.
My guess, regarding WA higher age, is the nursing home cluster.
Hopefully it means th elderly are bring careful.
I believe all elderly facilities took action after the terrible events at that Wa home.
No visitors, cleaning and screening.

Yes, and also people believe it is more age focused than is true due to the earliest demographics of victims. But data-wise, yes, that is what makes WA the outlier.
