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

My point was that there are going to be 15% to 20% that when infected by corona WILL be hospitalized with severe or critical symptoms. Yes, it will affect older people but no matter WHEN IT SPREADS WIDELY it SEEMS to be 15% or 20% no matter what. So it's irrelevant to talk about it in terms of young or old.

And there is no vaccine for viral pneumonia...only for pneumonia caused by certain bacteria so a pneumonia shot won't do much good unless one also happens to contract bacterial pneumonia.
