Young people are not immune from Covid19 and are dying.

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on CNN’s State of the Union that young people are not “immune” from getting seriously ill. “You can also be a vector or a carrier and even though you don’t get seriously ill you could bring it to a person who could bring it to a person who could bring it to your grandmother or elderly relative,” he said. “That’s why everyone has to take this seriously, even the young.” Health experts have said the majority of people who become infected with the virus will have minor symptoms and most won’t require medical treatment to recover, McClatchy News reports. But that becomes an issue when trying to contain COVID-19’s spread.
