The idea of this graph is to attempt to make use of the most recent information from public data about the number of confirmed cases in various age bands, so that trends over the last few days can hopefully be discerned. The numbers in each age band are adjusted/corrected for their incompleteness, then corrected for day-of-week biases, in both cases, as far as possible, in a non-laggy way. The age groups (which are in 5 year bands in the data source) are chosen here to focus on children and young adults. In addition, the 25-64 group roughly reflects working ages, and 65+ corresponds roughly to the retired, and particularly vulnerable to Covid-19.
