The patient died Thursday in a hospital in Contra Costa County. The Contra Costa resident was in their 70s and had a pre-existing condition that put them at higher risk of serious illness from COVID-19, and a history of recent overseas travel.

    My cousin is 26 years old in in great health. She exercises every day, eats well etc. She is currently in the hospital struggling to breath with this virus. So it hits the young and healthy too.
