for elderly people with compromised immune systems, anything can be a problem...my mom called to inform me one of her best friends who is on life support is having the life support turned off on Saturday...
The woman was quarantined for days on end while they did a coronavirus test- which came back negative. She was released then had a relapse. Turned out she had a bad case of pneumonia last summer and did not pay attention to doctors orders. Sad as i really liked this woman who i’ve known for years- but the point is anything and everything can be bad for the elderly with compromised immune systems or other symptoms...
My father had COPD and died from pneumonia two months ago.
