"I guess it depends how much exposure you have to the virus and how heavy the viral load is".
And a large dose of luck. There is little doubt that, generally speaking, the younger you are the less likely you are to suffer serious consequences, or death.
Conversely the older you are the more likely you are to be seriously ill, or die.
There can be exceptions which prove the rule in both directions.
