That way our medical capabilities will not be overtaxed thereby saving more lives. So sorry to break it to you! Your gonna get it! The questions are when and how severe you get it. Severity depends on the shape your immune system is in. Not conjecture here. Scientific fact.

And....If you avoid getting it by staying away from crowds and wearing masks to get provisions, there are a bunch of savvy scientists working diligently on a vaccine that will we hope protect those of us most at risk from dying........... We may still get it, but perhaps it won't kill us. AND having an immune system not in good shape is not a character fault. It happens with age. BUTCH!!!
