You first sentence just so convoluted Yes age and prior health do matter. One is less likely to get sick or may only get slightly ill. Compromised immune system will be most likely to get severely ill. This is true for other illnesses as well

Age or health does't matter to the 15% or 20% who will go to the hospital. If a 30 year old is in the that percentage it's the same as a 70 year old. They BOTH will go to the hospital. It doesn't matter if that 20% is all 90 year olds. They will go to the hospital. It doesn't matter if they are all 30 year olds. If they're in that percentage they're SICK enough to be in the hospital.

You don’t get it

A 30 yr old otherwise healthy individual is unlikely to get sick at all

The 70 yr old even if in best health is more likely to contract illness. If they’ve had the pneumonia shot they will do better. If not they are more likely to develop pneumonia which weakens an older body and causes other complications

I’m done now. You can continue to read whatever nonsense you want
