Children with the disease are more prone to severe disease than adults. Elderly people: Elderly people often have pre-existing chronic diseases such as respiratory diseases, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, liver failure, kidney failure, weakening the immune system. Therefore, the disease seen in the elderly is often much more severe than in the young. Changes in weather can easily trigger pre-existing medical conditions in the elderly.

Even when sick, pregnant women are often afraid to take medicine for fear of affecting the fetus, causing prolonged illness and fatigue in the body.
