She doesn’t look elderly.

Those must be old pictures.

She’s under 50, and he is a high school principal, both tested positive for flu A and Covid19

She looks quite obese - definitely a risk factor.

An interesting paper on a possible explanation for the treatment with chloroquine phosphate and the risk to diabetic patients. You're going to need a lot of coffee for this one.

Many of these patients have underlying diseases such as diabetes. Diabetic patients have higher glycated hemoglobin. Glycated hemoglobin is a combination of hemoglobin and blood glucose, which is another reason of the high infection rate for older people.

She and her friends all had mild cases. None of them found out until after they recovered that they actually had COVID-19, and only found out because she agreed to participate in a "flu survey" and provided samples for testing. By "mild", that means she was sick enough to go to the hospital where she tested negative for influenza, and stayed home sick for 10 days.
