but beyond a correlation between age and severity/death, there doesn't seem to be any way to predict how bad it will be if you get this.

She's right about one thing, if you smoke, quit now.

Someone that young having to work so hard to take her next breath. This insidious virus is out to get everyone. For the first few days it doesn't present much of a problem, but it's tearing your lungs apart right from the start. This young woman's life will be forever changed even if she recovers. A lifetime of respiratory problems is all she can look forward to after this. I wish her and her family well.

And all Donald Trump worries about his his image.
