The fact that you're young makes it MORE likely that you're infected but asymptomatic, and therefore more likely to be a silent carrier. And just because you don't end up in the hospital or die from it doesn't mean you won't have serious issues in the longer term.

There's a 27yo pitcher for the Red Sox—clearly someone young and in excellent health—who hasn't been able to start the season because of inflammation around his heart after a bout of COVID earlier in the month. Doctors are seeing more and more instances like this during the current wave, in young and otherwise healthy people, where the effects linger long after the active infection has cleared.

The statistics are shifting, and it's become increasingly clear that "we're young" is NOT enough to base decisions like this on. (Not saying you're wrong, just that you're using the wrong criteria to get there.) Younger, healthier people can still get it, transmit it, and have serious issues from it. Please don't continue to spread the myth that only older people or unhealthy people get really sick from COVID. [/quote]
