For months, you heard that people aged 65 and over are more at risk of COVID-19. But today, the CDC has changed language regarding which was the most likely. The "CDC has removed the specific age threshold for the classification of the elderly. CDC now warns that the risk will increase regularly as you age, andIt's not just more than 65 years old who are at increased risk of serious illness"Reports the reports of the agency". Recent data, including a MMWR published last week, has shown that the elderly are, the higher their risk of CVIV-19 serious illness.

But with small-scale propagation cases - caused by outbreaks, beaches, fratern and restaurants - all demographic data must be careful.

The CDC has also updated the medical conditions

"CDC has also updated the list of underlying medical conditions that increase the risk of serious illness after reviewing published reports, pre-printed studies and other data sources. The CDC experts then determined There were clear, mixed or limited evidence that condition has increased. The risk of a person for serious illness, regardless of age.
