WHILE studies suggest that the severity of Covid-19 rises with age, the recovery of elderly people from the coronavirus has provided a glimmer of hope to many across the world.
It is estimated that the risk of dying due to Covid-19 is 630 times higher in people over the age of 85 compared with young adults aged between 18 and 29.
However, as the pandemicâs death toll climbs, driven largely by victims in their 80s and above, there is some evidence to suggest that Covid-19 is not a death sentence for the elderly.
According to the Gerontology Research Group, which validates details of people thought to be 110 or older, as of February 14, there have been at least 232 people aged 105 or over reported to have tested positive for Covid-19.
