COVID and staying home, sentence 7

Older people and people with other health conditions are more likely to get seriously ill with COVID, partly because the body's defences work less well in old age; if a relative gets ill, it is not a child's fault.

Who acts: Older people, defences, relative, body · What happens: be, get, work, not be, defend · To what, where: fault

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×3, R7-rel-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
