Vice President Mike Pence speaks at a coronavirus task force briefing in Washington, DC, on June 26. PoolVice President Mike Pence said that while it is "encouraging news" that new cases of coronavirus are increasingly among young Americans, young people also "have a particular responsibility" to ensure they're not spreading the virus to vulnerable populations. "As we know, so far in this pandemic, younger Americans are less susceptible to serious outcomes of the coronavirus," Pence said at an ongoing coronavirus task force briefing. However, Pence added that young Americans must be careful to not spread the virus to older or more vulnerable people. "Younger Americans have a particular responsibility to make sure that they're not carrying the coronavirus into settings where they would expose the most vulnerable," he said.
