...but...but...but corona only affects the elderly
Huh? The virus can affect anyone, and everyone should observe the recommended precautions. This is what the news media has been reporting, though one needs to read past the headlines to get the details.
As with any infectious pathogen, the very young, the elderly, and those with a compromised or weak immune response are more susceptible to contagion and also will often become sicker when infected.
I live in Washington state which is currently the most affected in the U.S. The first cases (and deaths) here involved persons in their 70's - 90's living in a skilled nursing facility. The most recent confirmed case, and the first in my immediate local area, involves someone in their 20's.
Do please say a prayer for Father Alejandro Trejo of the Diocese of Yakima, Washington, who is being treated for COVID-19. Fr. Trejo is 48.
