| Greetings, QuickTake readers! In this edition: Italy's grim milestone, Trump's oversold virus drug, and an endangered rhino rebounds in the wild.  Young adults aren't invincible Despite initial data from China that elderly people were the most vulnerable to coronavirus, new evidence from Europe and the U.S. suggests younger adults are falling seriously ill from Covid-19. A quarter of Italy's 28,000 patients, many of whom ended up in the ICU, are under 50-years-old. In the U.S., where millennials suffer a "disproportional number of infections," 40% of hospitalized patients were aged 20 to 54, and half of the 121 ICU patients were under 65, the CDC reported. While the risk of dying rises with age, Dr. Anthony Fauci warned: "No one is invulnerable. Even if you are doing well, you are an important part of the plan to contain this epidemic." $ignificant figures 3,405. Italy registered that many coronavirus-related deaths, along with 41,035 total infections, surpassing China to become the country with the most Covid-19 fatalities and more than half the world's positive cases. 100,000. The number of Europeans stranded abroad by coronavirus-related travel disruptions, said EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, pledging to send dozens of flights to countries around the world to bring them home. $1 billion. Carl Icahn, Warren Buffett and more of the world's wealthiest people have spent that much to boost their stakes in companies as markets around the world tumbled in recent weeks over virus fears. Highly quotable "It's not going to kill anybody." Trump said the FDA had approved anti-malaria drug chloroquine to treat Covid-19 during a White House press conference. Minutes later, an FDA spokesperson denied his claim. "Cursed." How Japan's deputy prime minister characterized 2020 for the Olympics, saying the games are disrupted "every 40 years" like the war-canceled 1940 games in Tokyo and the boycotted 1980 games in Moscow. "My continent should wake up." WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, of Ethiopia, warned that while coronavirus cases in Africa were currently low, countries must "prepare for the worst." This is not normal Out of whack. After one earth's warmest winters, spring arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, its earliest in 124 years, amid temperature swings that caused ice to melt, flowers to bloom and birds to migrate sooner than expected.  The future is now SMS from above. Aerospace startup Lynk says, which plans to launch thousands of satellite cell towers into space, says it successfully sent a text message from a satellite in orbit to a smartphone on earth.  What's good Slow but steady. Once driven to near-extinction by poaching, the African black rhino is rebounding, aided by a conservation push that's boosted numbers annually by 2.5% over six years and is expected to continue.
