Only for 20% of the infected the virus actually reaches the lungs and then it goes really bad. For the other 80%, it stays deep in the throat and just makes you cough a lot. Does not have much to do with treatment. It can depend on how you infect yourself. Like if someone coughs and you take a deep breathe in that very area he coughed within some seconds, then the virus might find his way directly into your lungs. But that's just one case. Usually it stays in the throat and mass reproduces there and then wanders down into the lungs. If that happens or not probably depends on your immune system (but don't quote me on that).Public figure and NBA athletes like Tom Hanks, Idris Elba can heal real quick like it was nothing
So why are the others died so easily?
Not getting proper treatment or what?
As for the 20%, now it all depends on your physical fitness. It gets hard to breathe for you, but if you are physically fit (e.g. can run up stairs without having to breathe real hard afterwards), don't smoke and drink a lot water, you can probably survive it even without aid.
Now for the remaining ones, it DOES matter if they can get proper treatment or not.
