A member asked:
Is the treatment of covid-19 in people >50 different than for people <50?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Covid: As people get older they are more likely to develop other conditions which increase risk for a worse outcome. The risk is significantly higher in people over 65 years old. Thus, underlying conditions and COVID 19 specific symptoms will need to be addressed.
