healthy people with no underlying conditions do die from covid.
its about viral load.
if your gathering near a sick person for long periods to inhale large amounts of the virus. more then even a healthy persons immune system can battle. you will die from it.
No.
I know of some cases of people who have been quarantined and locked up at home with a COVID positive person and have not even caught the virus.
The last one was my cousin, who I saw on Saturday. He caught the virus and had symptoms, but neither the wife nor the three children caught it. When he tested positive for COVID, he was locked in a room, but before that he spent a couple of days sharing the same space with them, kissing and hugging them and they didn't even test positive.
The same happened to a co-worker.
the UK done a study earlier in the year
heres the summary
Of the 33,841 deaths that occurred in March and April 2020 involving COVID-19 in England and Wales, 30,577 (90.4%) had at least one pre-existing condition, while 3,264 (9.6%) had none.
9.6%
ill emphasise this 9.6% had no underlying condition
yep 3k died thinking that covid cant hurt them because they have no conditions.
3k out of 33k
the number is not 0%. its 9%
just take a few moments to realise this fact and realise the risk is not zero
Yeah, well, I agree that the risk is not zero but I don't think it is much higher than with the flu.
I knew a guy who got the flu about 5 years ago. Mid-thirties, aparently healthy, got pneumonia, didn't respond to medication and died.
Apart from that, what were the ages of those 9.6%? I bet all of them weren't healthy 20-year-olds.
I tend to believe that among all those 9.6% some of them were older than 60, some of them had an undetected underlying condition and, yes, some of them were young and healthy and just won the (wrong) lottery but I'm not going to get scared by that 9% figure when I know that the death rate for those younger than 60 is below 1%.
