I do not remember reading here where I live that this was only an ‘old people’s illness’. I do remember being told that older people could be more susceptible because of other health issues they may have, like diabetes, asthma, or other breathing problems, heart disease, or other immune diseases.
Of course, we have always had some of our younger population not believing that they could get this disease, just like some do not believe in getting the flu vaccine.
The only way we will see how this progresses, is when we start opening certain businesses with extreme caution.
We will be hoping that as we open, within the next 2 weeks, we will see how that goes, because our Premier here is still strongly saying we should still physically distance ourselves.
