COVID 19:  That partially depends on the extent of your healing. I would contact your physician who can assess your degree of recovery and current sequela.

why do people get hoarser voice in 70s?

Accepted Answer

Poor technique : Good breathing and energy in the body lead to a good voice. As we age often people's energy levels drop and they lose muscle tone. Shallower breathing with less energy equals a weaker voice.  In addition, people who age sometimes lose their hearing and they don't hear themselves as well. This loss of feedback sometimes makes them think they are speaking loudly and they end up speaking improperly.
