If you're under 30 why would you be remotely concerned about COVID as a personal health risk?
1) 10 to 15% of people who have Covid, even asymptomiatically, go on to develop long Covid to some degree.
2) There are increasing concerns about organ damage caused by Covid. A variety of studies have shown that even asymptomatic Covid infections in young people can cause damage to the brain, heart and other organs. One study suggests this might be as many as 10% of all infections. Most of the damage is minor, and depending on the organ and extent can be reversible, but its still a worry.
3) Even in under 30s, Covid can be a serious infection. Especially if you have underlying health conditions, such as diabetes, asthma and obesity.
