Why Corona Kills Certain Young People, Others Not?

Since the early days of the emergence of the novel Corona virus, the main medical concern was almost about the elderly. By time, however, it became clear that the epidemic's danger does not confine to those aged, but also it might not have any mercy on young people, who might develop health complications and eventually die after contracting the virus.

One of the mysteries of "Covid 19" remains the dangerous effects of the virus on young people, as it can attack healthy adults, including medical personnel who treat patients.

In many countries, some deaths happened at people who didn't have any known previous health conditions, that is, were healthy enough.

The questions will be then: why the virus may be fatal for some young people.

Theories and speculations were put forward to explain the issue and was published in the British newspaper "The Guardian".

According to the newspaper report, some researchers believe that the number of corona virus particles that infect an inpidual may have a decisive impact, that is, the result of receiving more spray means a worse disease.

Among the young people who died from the Coronavirus, Chinese doctor Li Winliang, who was among the first to warn of an outbreak at the start.

Li died at the age of 34 after his health deteriorated, as a result of infection with the Corona virus, due to contact with patients who were treating him in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.

For others, the genetic susceptibility is what leads to the deterioration of young people's health and the death of some of them sometimes.

In other words, some inpiduals are more vulnerable than others to the complications of the virus in their bodies as a result of their genetic makeup.

Michael Skinner, a virologist at Imperial College in London, argues this theory, saying that "it is very likely that some of us have a certain genetic makeup that makes our response to a virus infection bad."

What supports this theory is "herpes", for example, which causes painful ulcers on the lips and throat, sometimes in the genitals and buttocks.

And some people can have a bad response to this infectious disease, as a result of their genetic makeup that affects cell receptors in the central nervous system, so receptors are unable to cope with the worst effect of it.

"It is possible that we will see a similar type of genetic susceptibility in coronavirus patients, which leads to greater suffering and more serious side effects," Skinner added.
