Current Events > How does corona affect people so differently?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like it's bizzare how some people are asymptomatic, some got mild symptoms, some have severe, possibly permanent damages to their system and some just doesn't survive.

While age and pre existing conditions apply, there are also have been young, healthy people that died suddenly or old people who have mild symptoms too.

Poor Health, old age and bad luck are the three main contributors. With the healthy and young dying being the exceptions and not the norm.

But this applies to numerous sorts of illnesses so covid isnt really special in this regard.

Some people are able to get quicker access to medical care than others

I think a big answer to what you are asking TC is that not everybody is exposed at the same level.

Let's say there is a spreader in a closed room, and twin 1 goes into that room for 5 minutes and talks with them.

And then twin 2 goes into that room for 8 hours and talks with them and rubs their eyes a lot, etc.

Even if the 2 twins have identical health, twin 2 is going to have a much much worse time.

It's not just if you "got a case of it" but how bad your exposure was too.

Didn't see it mentioned, but level of optimism has been shown to impact the immune system. There was a study done where optimistic and pessimistic rats were both given cancerous tumors, and the optimistic rats had more "natural killer" and other immune cells, which lowered the death rate compared to the pessimistic rats.

Part of how the disease works may be attributable to psychological reasons.

You can google "Viral Load" and Coronavirus, that is honesty a big reason for a the difference.

Also just immune system strength, vitamin deficiencies, etc.

-There's at least half a dozen strains. Some are worse than others
-depends on the amount of viral load you get (as Joe40001) said.
-supposedly people with type A blood are more suspectible?
-age and sex is a factor. The older you are the more suspectible. Also men ten to feel the affects of infections from viruses, bacteria and fungal more than women. This may be due to testerone that knoennto suppress the immune system.
-preexisting conditions that lower your immune system. Diabetes, cancer, potentially asthma (?)
