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.

Yes.

Young and otherwise healthy people were left largely unscathed,

Thats bull****. Plenty got very serious illness, but werent killed by the
virus.

with many experiencing such minor symptoms €“ or none altogether €“ that
they didnt even realise they were infected.

Thats true of the elderly too.

But the emergence of new mutations of COVID-19, dubbed €˜variants of
concern by epidemiologists, has changed all of that.

Nope, they are mostly just more infectious in the case of the
kent variant and infect people who have previously recovered
from the wuhan strain in the case of the brazil variant.

Dodging sickness and even death are no longer are safe bet for young
people, as countless examples internationally have shown.

Thats bull****.
