It's younger people who have never had heart disease, diabetes and other problems that have been affected OGF. Those who already had those problems got very sick & quite often were hospitalised with great resources devoted to keeping them alive.

It's no point debating this with you because you don't believe in covid. The fact that people who were previously running marathons etc still can't walk up the stairs without a lie down is of no consequence to those whose lives aren't affected and they don't experience it personally so they don't believe.

The disease can attack healthy organ tissue and change the cells so that they are damaged beyond repair. It has damaged muscles, ligaments too as well as lungs. Also attacks the brain. It's a very nasty disease and people still think it's flu....hey ho
(1) I don't think we do have immunity to flu Annie, considering a different strain appears every year. Hence the need for a modified vaccine.
(2) Younger people who develop complications from covid are rare Annie, the BBC searches far and wide to find a young runner that has unfortunately had a bad experience from Covid. Did you know that flu produced the same problems as covid post infection, in fact many people died as a result of contracting flu....
A doctor told my next door neighbour that the flu virus he had in the winter of 2017 and was still displaying muscle weakness and joint pain in June, could remain in his system for up to a year....
(3) There is every reason to discuss it with me Annie,
I totally believe in covid and what effect it can have on people, especially the old and those with a compromised immune system. I also believe that covid can be more serious to more people than the flu (hence the high mortality rates) but let's not get carried away by some of the whoppers we see on the internet, the MSM, and especially the BBC. People are unlikely of ever catching covid are commiting suicide and dying of worry from the frenzy that has been caused.
(4) As I mentioned earlier, Flu and the common cold can also produce the damage you have mentioned. Ultimately, Pneumonia mainly....Nobody knows just how prepared our immune systems are until they are put to the test. All we can do is to eat the right things, and avoid catching a virus in the first place. The rest is in the hands of God....And the NHS...
PS:- Just for the record, a runner completing a marathon or any other endurance event will have a severely compromised immune system for a period of time afterwards, and will be prone to picking up many infections and viruses following a run....They would be more susceptible than even someone with underlying illness, until their energy was returned to normal.
