I just saw an expert mention this on MSNBC- No you will probably not die in this age group if you are infected - but there is a chance that you may be left with reduced lung function in this age group after you have beaten Covid 19.
Just think about what that means long term. Long term illness, increased medical bills, change in quality of life.
Its not just death from this virus that we need to be worrying about.
