My dad is 60 years old and just barely survived a bought of pancreatitis a few years ago. He’s got every single complicating health issue. According to the statistics that means he has like a 1 in 4 or 1 in 3 chance of dying if he catches this. That’s way worse than his odds with the flu or a cold. Maybe my dad doesn’t matter to you, but he’s kind of important to me.
