Based on the CDC published final 2022 estimates, Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults and older teens had still not caught COVID-19 by the end of last year, according to new estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while 77.5% had antibodies from at least one prior infection.
Those who have gotten it seem to get it again and again.
There are still many who are deathly afraid to get covid. If your vaccinated and practice standard basic hygiene your risk is very low.
Wash your hands and don’t touch your face. Simple things to avoid it.
Colds are a variety of viruses. There isn’t a cold virus itself.
As for Covid, like the Flu or RSV there are those who are in danger of serious illness, the percentage is just low. It’s not anything to worry about.
The risk of developing dangerous symptoms of COVID-19 may be increased in people who are older. The risk may also be increased in people of any age who have other serious health problems — such as heart or lung conditions, weakened immune systems, obesity, or diabetes. This is similar to what is seen with other respiratory illnesses, such as the flu (influenza).
Each of these factors can increase the risk of severe COVID-19 symptoms. But people who have several of these other health problems are at even higher risk.
