COVID-19 only affects the old. True or False?

Answer: False
WHO reports that about 14 percent of people infected will develop severe disease and need to be hospitalized, with 5 percent ending up in an intensive care unit.

Although older people and those who are immunosuppressed are at greatest risk for complications, younger generations aren’t entirely safe.

In fact, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that in the United States, of almost 2,500 people with COVID-19 whose ages were known, 29 percent were 20 to 44 years old.
