Yep, and add to that the fact that the elderly and the immunity diminished population will be the hardest hit.

If you look at the Spanish Flu, young healthy adults were hit very hard. It is generally attributed to cytokine storm, in which the immune system attacks so vigorously that the patient dies of extreme inflammatory processes. I have seen reports that this is a factor in Covid19 as well. While elderly are at risk, this may not be a walk in the park for some of our young adults either. It is a good time for all of us to be getting enough rest, eating a healthy diet and staying away from sick people.
