 MY GF's two cousins, aged 23, and 25 are in the hospital on oxygen now.  Their mother has been on a ventilator going on her third week, the rest of the family 10 of the 12 are also hospitalized and they age from 29 to 56.  So covid is an equal age infector, especially this Delta variant.

Interesting. Do they have any health issues ?

 

And are they obese ?

 

It's the obesity that make it worse for young people.

It's spread by, and mutates in the young, not old people sitting at home.

Well ,obviously, but it's so much the young/fitter ones that are being hospitalized and dying, which is what makes the headlines.  

There is no immediate solution to this problem, but kicking this abysmal government out of power and having the correct people in the right positions instead of the incompetent corrupt thugs that are there now would be a big step forward!

Anustin, he's sharp as a tack isn't he?
