So, young people have way less antibodies. Lots of stats also show people aged 0-19 have barely any test-confirmed infetions compared to older populations. I also read that for the first 7 days, the virus mostly stays in your throat with mild symptoms and only after that it goes to the lungs causing major issues.
Could it be that young people with strong immune systems easily fight the virus away within the first week?
- unmole 6y ago> for the first 7 days, the virus mostly stays in your throat with mild symptoms I'm sorry but do you have a source for that? The only place I read this was in nonsensical WhatsApp forwards.

- rogerkirkness 6y agoYes, I had something like this. Felt like a mild cold combined with altitude sickness. No cough.
- verylittlemeat 6y agoDid the symptoms get worse and/or did you test positive for corona virus?
- Gibbon1 6y agoOut of my keister I'd assume young people's innate immune response might often defeat the virus on it's own. By the time the adaptive immune system kicks in the war is over.
