I know six people personally who have had Covid. Three are fully recovered, two after being hospitalized, one in intensive care.
The other three have died from Covid 19. Two were over 75 and one was 69 and appeared healthy. I saw him riding his bike a lot.

The fact is that a higher percentage of people over 75 have preexisting conditions. Couple that with a less robust immune system and it makes that segment of the population more vulnerable. However the odds of a 75 year old without preexisting conditions surviving Covid are a lot better than a 75 year old with multiple preexisting conditions. It’s not “If you are over 75, healthy or not your chances of dying from it are one in ten.”
