A feature of coronavirus that emerged early in the pandemic was its
tendency to inflict serious illness and death on predominantly elderly
people or those with pre-existing health conditions.

Young and otherwise healthy people were left largely unscathed, with

didnt even realise they were infected.

people, as countless examples internationally have shown.
