This virus lives for underlying conditions. So if you have any, covid makes it worse. That's how the virus for the most part attacks the body. You have to be aware of this by now. That's why they say the elderly and people with underlying conditions are more at risk. And as the age level goes down the risk is in fact lower. Yes there have be a very small amount of people who for the most part were "perfectly healthy" and still had a hard time with the virus. But we don't know them, nor do we really know their health. Heck you hear about athletes dropping dead on playing fields from a completely unknown health issue. If you think your healthy and dont do regular checkups how do you know if you have an underlying condition or not?
And I will be happy to explain my reasoning on it being safer now. But to insult me by telling me I am "uninformed"? without ever considering there is a quite valid point that you have overlooked was really not necessary. It is a less riskier envionment, if you step out of the covid obsessed myopic virus view. Be aware that covid is one of only hundreds of thousands of viruses out there. But since covid splashed onto the scene, people have been washing their hands (some who very seldom did), children are even being very careful washing their hands, cleaning surfaces that were very infrequently cleaned if ever and keeping them clean, staying home when sick, whereas people still used to drag themselves out and around. Buildings are cleaner. People are paying attention to transmittable means and surfaces. Those other viruses (including the flu) will have a harder time in a cleaner world. People are staying away from each other. Not sharing drinks, food etc. Yes people still get together but it's still not the parties that used to be. So yes this virus is out there. There are a whole lot of positive people from what were are told. But you never see how many out of those "surge" are actually asymtomatic or mild symptoms and never go to the hospital. That ratio and the actual number who die from it...not with it (and there is a difference). make up the actual percentage of how lethal it really is.
On July 16th the number of cases in the United States was around 3,512,000 and the number of deaths was around 137,000. That would make the case fatality rate 3.9%, so based on confirmed cases, about 96% of people survive. But because of the significant number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic people with COVID-19, the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention estimates the number of infected people could be 10 times the number of confirmed cases. Using the current numbers, that means more than 30 million people could have been infected, which would make the infection fatality rate 0.4% -- meaning 99.6% of people survive the virus.
Health officials have confirmed the survival rate for people with the coronavirus (COVID-19) is high. It really is. Yes there are those that still have issues after fighting it but they recover. In the end it has always been no matter the virus if you have underlying medical conditions you will be at a higher risk of complications. Everyone can get this, but a vast majority have little to no symptoms.
