Nobody dies from coronavirus itself, they die from the complications coming from underlying health issues.
We are trying to slow down the spreading of this virus so if our older folks or family or friends who have underlying health issues (diabetes, heart disease, etc) get sick, there will be enough room at the hospital (ICU) for them to recover well and not have to die from the complications.
We can’t stop the virus unless there’s is a vaccine. But we can slow it down from spreading rapidly. This should also buy us some time until there is a vaccine.
