Currently the prevailing health message has been clear - the older you are, the more at risk you are from corona virus. But the World Health Organization (WHO) still precautions young people to not think of taking themselves as invincibles or untouchables.
Still on the other side Medical Experts have been clear that the illness was "not simply limited to the elderly and those with underlying health condition, because the virus remains equally highly infectious to the youth as it is to the old still marking it as a dangerous disease to all age sections.
However scientific reality of the older people being most at risk at a certain percentage remains viable because usually the old are characterised of underlying health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and many other elderly diseases that make them susceptible to Covid 19 hence appearing to be more vulnerable.
This scientific reality acts as a game changer to the Ugandan young people because basing on statistics, Uganda is the youngest population in the world, with 77% of its population being under 25 years of age meaning there are 7,310,386 youth from the ages of 15–24 years of age living in Uganda, and records per now manifest that countries Like Italy, Spain and USA hit so hard by the pandemic have the oldest populations.
Uganda currently has only 14 confirmed caseS including a 8 month old baby with no confirmed death as yet which stands as great news of hope to the Ugandans for now because novel covid 19 Pandemic seems to stringently affect the whole world with confirmed 529,093 cases and 24,093 deaths world wide
