Are some getting mild symptoms of this virus and some are dying, it's obviously not just people with underlying health issues, now either, it seems.

Some people have fairly low immune systems all the time due to genetic reasons. In almost every workplace, for example, there's nearly always one person who is constantly getting colds and who is usually the first to go down with 'whatever is going around'.

Some people have fairly low immune systems all the time due to genetic reasons. In almost every workplace, for example, there's nearly always one person who is constantly getting colds and who is usually the first to go down with 'whatever is going around'.
Others might have had a disease, possibly in childhood, which left them with an immune system which is somewhat less than perfect.
Yet others might recently have had 'a mild touch of flu', possibly with no more than a sniffle or too. That could still be enough to leave their immune system suppressed for a few weeks afterwards.
If any of the people I've mentioned above contract Covid-19, their bodies will find it much harder to cope than the bodies of people with strong immune systems.

we dont know - xc Chris
they are trying by observation trying to identify the factors
over sixty - being a man
within the over sixty group - they have made little headway
other disease ( rather obvious)
hypertensive disease surprisingly
previous lung disease
one researcher said - we will really only know at the post epidemic clean-up - she meant debrief

// Yes, but I'd be interested to know why that is the case, woofgang.//
then you need to do a three year microbiology course
There is no doubt children respond differently to disease than adults and one reason is that their tissue is still growing and so for example they can effectively replace damaged lung tissue
the effects can be different -chickenpox is mild in children and sortof wipes out adults
Polio is worse in young adults - the highest ratio of quadriplegia in polio was in young recruits serving in Egypt - children and adults were relatively spared. Trauma localisation was observed - tonsillectomy was abandoned during outbreaks as there was an increased ratio of pharyngeal polio
spanish flu killed 2% (It must be higher that is low low low) and swept over, attacked, wiped out military camps in an incredibly high but presumably short courses - everyone got it at the same time as far as Ican see, - and elder adults tended not to die - nor children
so what was the question
what is it that selects whether you die or not
we dont really know
but the solution starts with observation

I had chicken pox when I was about 7 or 8. It was horrid.
I used to get colds regularly when I smoked. It's been 12-13 years since I stopped and I rarely get them now. The last time I had a cold was Oct/Nov and I felt quite ill. Usually I use the Vicks First Defence at the first sign but that time I didn't.

Cloverjo I am a child of the 50's/60's I definitely remember disease parties, although my mother and her mother didn't approve of them so we never went. Folk wisdom even then was that in particular it was wise for boys to get mumps and girls to get german measles over and for both sexes to get chicken pox over.
