It is not chronological age alone that determines how one does in the face of a life-threatening infection such as Covid-19, cautioned geriatrician and gerontologist George Kuchel of the University of Connecticut. Having multiple chronic diseases and frailty is in many ways as or more important than chronological age. An 80-year-old who is otherwise healthy and not frail might be more resilient in fighting off infection than a 60-year-old with many chronic conditions. Reason: He may have a younger immune system.”
