AS SPIKES in coronavirus (Covid-19) cases amongst the elderly continues to be highlighted by medical authorities, few governments are addressing this issue strategically.
In the US where elderly care facilities in Washington state are reporting deaths with some nursing homes having 50 possible cases among 108 residents, for instance, the emergency is clearly hitting this demographic over all others.
Italy’s elderly population is suffering gravely from this virus given that 23 per cent of the Italian population is over 65 and the fatalities are hitting those between 63 and 95 despite many having other serious illnesses. In Britain, the first fatality was a woman in her 70s and the government is still in the “containment phase” of the government’s response to the outbreak.
