Fitness won't necessarily help you. Fit people are in critical care and dying too. BMI shows very little effect on outcome in studies seen so far, for example.

@Quizzical Sure, relatively speaking. It just proves the case that nobody can reliably assume that it won't be them. Pneumonia can get anyone.

@SW-User Oh, absolutely, but you do have a much higher change of survival if you're young and healthy

@Quizzical Yes, agreed, significantly higher.
