cOViD is not even really a risk for people with working immune systems. It's a mundane coronavirus, no more deadly than all the coronaviruses your body fights every day. Silently, your body's immune system is always at work, always fighting off viruses and infection.
Sometimes your body can't beat it and you get a cold, sometimes you get a more virulent virus like Influenza or Norovirus and you go down for a while, in the case of those two it IS potentially deadly.
For people without the immune response to fight off viruses, any virus can be deadly, which is just a fact of life. That's why people die when they get older. Their bodies become weaker and less capable of fighting off illnesses. Some people hasten this by abusing their bodies. Some people develop illnesses by circumstance and are compromised. For these people, CoViD any virtually any other virus that the rest of us don't even notice we fight off every day can be deadly.
So does that mean when a person gets old we wrap them in a bubble? Really if it's not covid, it's something else right? No, that's not a life for them. They are humans with the need to be around people, to be hugged and treated with dignity. That carries risk, obviously... but nobody gets out of life alive!
