The elderly get flu shots which made them more susceptible to covid-19 OR possibly mean they would test positive and remember we had few flu/pnuemonia deaths since covid hijacked the headlines. Lastly, most elderly truly died of complications to a myriad of other symptoms and abysmal healthcare. More died from ventilators than a disease itself. I’m getting myself pissed as I speak so hopefully my response makes some sense. My aunt was just diagnosed with covid this week. She’s 84 and lives near buffalo New York. There’s nothing I can do for her except pray.
