I’m poppy to my grandchildren and at an age where the risk of an adverse result from a bout of covid is high.
I’ve been taking all the precautions recommended by public health authorities and we are fortunate that the public health measures have worked so far.
But the risk is still there until vaccines are widely administered and herd immunity is accomplished. Community spread still can occur despite our public health measures as we can see from New Brunswick, once part of the Atlantic Bubble.
In the US, 8 out of 10 deaths from covid occur in people 65 and older.
