Young and unafraid of the coronavirus? Good for you. Now stop killing people | Opinion Yes, chances are that the coronavirus won't kill you. But just by refusing to stay put, you are endangering hundreds of lives, every bit as valuable as your own. And it can still mess up your life, or incapacitate you for good.
