Because of our age, illnesses like the flu that we used to shake off easily in high school can become serious now. In this sense, COVID-19 behaves a lot like seasonal flu. From 70% to 85% of all flu deaths and 50% to 70% of flu-related hospitalizations occur among people in the 65-plus age group, according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). So it makes sense to take more precautions now than we used to.
