(31,261 posts)So little is known about how, and who covid19 kills that going in public without some protection is fallacy. Yes, sicker older people are dying at a higher rate, but that routinely happens with many causes of death.
What hasn't been explained is why one healthy young person dies from covid19 while a second may hardly notice having being infected. Someone pointed out that maybe the difference is the viral load that a person takes upon infection, or the person that dues taking several viral loads versus the one that lives taking a single minor viral load. Until that type of issue is better understood, going into public without practicing safe distancing and wearing a mask and safety glasses to reduce intake of a viral load is essentially playing Russian roulette.
