One of the main sources of the current panic around the coronovirus is the regularly emerging information that not only the elderly, but also young people are dying from this disease. Let's see why this happens and why the higher the level of fear (=stress), the worse the disease progresses.
In his book The Carcinogenic Mind. Psychosomatic Mechanisms of Cancer” I quote a lot of information about the effect of stress on the immune system and the body’s antiviral defenses. activation of oncogenic viruses is one of the mechanisms of cancer. Since the body fights all viruses in the same way, whether it is a corona or an oncogenic one, I am citing excerpts from the book that will help you understand that it is people who are in deeper stress that are more susceptible to illness.
