40-49 yrs old? You should be worried about Covid 19

[tulipsandroses]

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.

1. I had two different coworkers about a month ago who had a "realllly bad flu"

They were out over a week. They are both in their 40s. I do wonder if they had coronavirus.

none of this is new news.

5. I am very much so. There have been many in their 40's and

50's who have died, they don't fall into the majority of course, but there are certainly far more than TPTB would like us to know about .

6. I was thinking about this when I read about it and have heard little. Exactly. Who wants long term

lung function issues. That is not a bed of roses or reasons to cheer survival.
