It's so weird
My sister had it, and had breathing problems and fatigue; her son had it, no symptoms at all; her partner and their daughter didn't catch it at all.

My mum works in primary care and they've had
plenty of sick, elderly people with very few symptoms, but they really are the minority in the over 70s. And yes, lots of younger people suffer very badly. It's Russian roulette and the older you are, the more underlying health problems you have the more bullets in the chambers.

Hopefully this pandemic will help put an end to the 'office hero who comes to work even though they feel unwell' culture
