Fear Of Suffering From Coronavirus? Study Explains It Has Nothing To Do With Age.
COVID-19 vaccine latest update today: More than 10 lakh 76 thousand people have died due to Corona's havoc across the world so far, and more than 30 million 74 million people have been suffering from COVID-19 infection. A new study found that a person's age cannot determine how likely he or she is to be infected with SARS-COV-2 (which is responsible for COVID-19). However, the development of symptoms, severity of illness, and death determine the exact cause behind this. Studies have shown that older adults develop more severe symptoms of COVID-19 and have higher mortality. Scientists used available data from Japan, Spain, and Italy for this and showed that the likelihood of suffering from COVID-19 has nothing to do with age while the symptoms, intensity and mortality of COVID-19 depend on age.

First, how much they are likely to be infected due to their old age, which has been seen in many cases. Second, how much they are likely to be affected by the severe nature of the disease, which is reflected in the mortality. The researchers said that these factors had not been fully understood for COVID-19.
