The Danger of Covid-19 for the Elderly & Young Generation

Covid-19 is a disease caused by the corona virus. The virus can spread quickly through fluids released by the sufferer either through mucus from the nose or saliva. This disease is very dangerous, especially for the elderly.

This virus is known to be able to attack the lungs quickly for elderly people. This is due to the vulnerability of the immune system in the elderly. When this virus is successful in paralyzing the lungs, the sufferer has a small chance of recovering.

We can see this from the statistical data on the number of WHO victims. According to data compiled by WHO, as many as 8 out of 10 people died from this virus in patients 65 years and over. So we can conclude that COVID-19 is very dangerous, especially for the elderly.

But that does not mean that this one virus is also harmless for young people. In fact there are some people who are still relatively young but also did not manage to recover. In New York City there is a young man aged 15 who died due to Covid-19.

The case was also reported in the New York Times with the content of the WHO warning regarding the dangers of the corona virus in youth. The news stated that COVID-19 is also very dangerous for young people, especially for children who are known to already have a history of illness or poor health. For example, congenital diseases born to obesity.

Even though we don't fall into the two categories that are vulnerable to COVID-19, we still have to be vigilant and always follow the government's health protocols to avoid and reduce the number of transmission. If we are strong, it doesn't mean we don't have to be afraid, but we are afraid if we transmit it to people who are vulnerable to COVID-19. It could be that the person is the closest person, including parents.

At the end of the day we all have to be careful and vigilant about covid-19. Not only seeing the age limit, our health and endurance must also be considered. Together we fight this one virus by maintaining distance, health, cleanliness and following the health protocols that have been set by the government.
