Younger adults are getting seriously sick and ending up in the hospital because of the coronavirus, and it's alarming doctors
Doctors say they're shocked at the number of non-elderly adults who are severely ill with COVID-19.
True every day, all the time, everywhere, not just during C-19.... but it is important to remember that the majority of people who die are over age 65. The elderly are the most at risk group. About 80% of deaths are people over 65. And the percentage goes up as age increases.
Yes, very true.True every day, all the time, everywhere, not just during C-19.![]()
It is not just an old person’s disease but it is important to remember that the majority of people who die are over age 65. The elderly are the most at risk group. About 80% of deaths are people over 65. And the percentage goes up as age increases.
In all seriousness, though. Thank goodness this is the kind of stuff we are hearing as far as children and infants. For the little ones the illness can even go unnoticed, and yet make adults sick for weeks (or worse). Just crazy how this virus affects people so differently (and why it's so hard to figure out how to treat it). My daughter's family had coronavirus OC43 (similar to COVID). The two little ones (2 and 4) were barely sick (a little tired, a little cough, for a day). My daughter and her husband took 2-3 weeks to have it run it's course and feel better.
