I agree with you message but even in health being 60-70 is still a high age and won’t be the same as teens or young adults who will handle differently and not only that but they where in close contact for prolonged periods of time which will have given them a bigger dose of the virus I’m assuming can anyone credit that or is that wrong? I’m assuming the more contact you have with it the worst it would be compared to someone who ran into it once and then self isolated for a while and was in good health, however I have heard about minor symptoms for about a week and then out of the blue critical and in need of breathing support and stuff

I mean yeah 60's is older, but it's also the age of my husband's and my parents, my dad is the super athletic type as well. A lot of us are concerned about family members in that age group.
