There are so many incurable illnesses now that you need to protect yourself from. Some illnesses are curable, however some cause permanent damage, and some lead to very serious conditions.
Most people never think that the common cold is that dangerous because people catch colds frequently. However, it could be considered one of the most serious illnesses. The common cold is caught by exposure to affected people and it can spread quickly. It sometimes causes secondary infections to eyes, ears, lungs etc, and occasionally causes serious conditions such as pneumonia, which can eventually lead to death.

What makes pneumonia dangerous for old people are the complications, such as heart disease, which tends to weaken the immune system.
