I think the reason I chose to continue with this story is due to the fact that it has really impacted the way the world functions as a result of the pandemic qualification and fatalities. As a student I think it surprised me how serious it was with regard to young adults and the data provided by the Web MD link above. Rather than it being a huge threat to the really young and old, it has had the greatest impact on young adults.

What also seemed interesting was the unanimous belief that as young adults we really don't have to worry about being seriously affected by the new strain, but rather an illness that will just pass.
