The age groups today that do better when percentages are reviewed are not UNTOUCHED by the virus in a profound way. The "age" of the human body determines the IMMEDIATE outcome of many patients, however, as these patients grow older they will be effected in their quality of life and longevity as the virus has done damage that should have never occurred.
AND THE DAMAGE IS RANDOM. THERE IS NO SET PATTERN. SIMILARITIES, BUT, NOT A PRESCRIBED POST COVID OUTCOME.
It is pure foolishness to go down the path that Herd Immunity is the answer. It will profoundly affect the efficacy of the nation. This virus is as much about the country as it is about the individual.
The numbers of Americans contracting this virus is enormous and in order to prevent a high degree of disability in the years to come, they need to be followed and interventions PLANNED to assist in maintaining a good quality of life, otherwise, the more that contract the virus the more likely it will provide a population of disabled people that will demand financial and medical support from the country.
Genetic intervention for disabilities, including heart-lung, need to be investigated. Can destroyed brain tissue be regenerated? Does it provide a platform to relearn a person's life?
It is one thing to regenerate a limb or an ear, it is quite something else to repair hearts and lungs. The future following this virus is a challenge BUT today, avoiding infection at all costs has to be the only reasonable path forward.
