A member asked:
Is it true that fit and healtht people with no underlying conditions are dying from covid 19? im reading so much stories
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: There are cases of young fit and healthy persons that die from COVID 19 related complications. However, the majority of patients that die have some underlying medical conditions such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, etc. For now, wear a mask in public and practice good hygiene (hand washing) and social distancing. You cannot predict who will develop severe symptoms and die.
