The recovery of Coronavirus depends on the immunity system of the infected person. Human immunity weakens as we age. So it automatically becomes dangerous for older people. Things get worse when a person over the age of 80 gets infected.





A study from Jama has reported that over 72,000 Chinese Coronavirus infected patients were examined. The average fatality rate was 2.5% but patients over the age of 60-80, their fatality rate was over 15%.





Here are a few steps which can be followed by any generations:





The basics:





· Make sure the elders of your family are aware of the Coronavirus

Elders of the family don’t use the technology that much. Some of them are most likely to be unaware of all these. Some of them get some knowledge from TV or Newspapers. This is your job to share your knowledge with them and to double-check on them.





· Always stay in touch

If you live in a single-family, always stay connected to your elders. Tell them if they are concerned they can always call friends, co-workers or other family members.





· Cancel all the unnecessary meetings or appointments

Canceling unnecessary meetings can save you from being in touch with sick persons or those who unknowingly carrying the Coronavirus. Canceling your appointments can also work in the same way. If you have a Doctor’s appointment you can have the conversation on a phone call or maybe in a video call too. Avoiding going to the Doctors can save you from other sick persons who are there for their appointments.





Daily routine:





· Wash your hands frequently

This is a basic everyday work. But what we do on a daily basis is just wash the hands for a few seconds. Some of us don’t even use any soaps or handwashes. Try to wash your hands before eating, returning from the bathroom or returning from the outside for at least 20 seconds or more so with soaps and handwashes.













· Avoid crowd and crowded places

Crowdy places can be a great place of spreading the coronavirus, As it is mentioned earlier Coronavirus is Zoonotic, it spreads person to person. It is impossible to know who is carrying what. It can easily infect anyone.





· Stocking-up household things

Stocking up things is a good idea to avoid being in crowded places like markets and malls. Buying extra toothpaste, detergent, soaps, and other things won’t be a big of a problem.





· Cleaning your house daily

Cleaning house stuffs like tables, fans, furniture can bring freshness to your house, which is can make your house with fewer bacteria.





· Drinking a lot of water

Water is very good for our health. Drinking a lot of water can also improve our immune system. As it is mentioned earlier good immunity can reduce the chances of getting seriously infected by Coronavirus.





· Avoid touching your face

Try not to touch your nose, eyes or mouth especially when you are outside.





· Add exercise in your daily routine

Exercise is really important for people of any age. Doing exercise regularly can improve our immune system. People with the age of 60-80 must work out a little. Besides, you must change your diet. Elders should eat light foods and avoid oily and over fried foods. Adults should eat rich in protein foods.





Traveling advice:





One of the most important of them all. Reports are saying that the main reason for spreading the Coronavirus is Tourism.













· Try not to travel in public transports

Public transports can be a very big reason for Coronavirus infection. If you are traveling on public transport always be aware of other passengers. Check their body language and always watch for somebody who is coughing or sneezing. Always use facemasks. After returning home you must wash your hands with soaps. Taking a bath with hot water and soap would be much better.





· Use personal vehicle

Using personal transport would be the best way to avoid being infected by Coronavirus. But affording a personal vehicle is not possible for everyone. Try to follow the preventions mentioned above.





Use digital money transfer:



One of the greatest causes of the Coronavirus infection could be holding money from anyone and anywhere. Money notes and the coins travel a lot. It is impossible for us to know who had touched the coins or the notes. It is even possible that some of them had an infection and later it can infect you as well. If we use the digital money transfer or online money transfer it will be possible for us to stay away from the Coronavirus and getting the infection as well.

What to do when you are sick:





The basic symptoms of Coronavirus are fever, cough, breathing problems, runny nose, sneezing and other signs of normal flu.













· Let others know

If you think you are sick tell your family or friends first. They can help. Then call the doctor or Coronavirus Hotline.





· Don’t get panicked

It has a long process to confirm that someone is infected or not. Coronavirus symptoms are the same as normal flu. So there is nothing to get panicked. 80% of the Coronavirus infected cases are recovered.





· Stay at home

if you have the symptoms of Coronavirus, doctors must have advised you to stay at home. You will be treated at home. You must not go out. It can save others from being infected.





· You will be hospitalized only if you develop some major issues

If you have minor issues you will be suggested to stay at your home. You will be treated at home. There is no need to be hospitalized. People who have developed major issues they must be hospitalized.





SUMMARY:





People above the age of 60 have a higher chance of developing serious issues. The fatality rate of adults is 2.5% and elders have a fatality rate of 15%. This article is not suggesting that younger people can’t get infected or something, it is trying to make you understand that elders and those who have low immunity they can get infected faster.





Elders should take more precautions and take care of themselves. They should avoid the crowd and unnecessary traveling. They should stay at home as much as possible.





Adding exercise and adding healthy foods can improve the immunity system, which can reduce the chance of getting sick. Always drink lots of water. Wash your hands frequently. Cover you face when you go out.

Coronavirus is zoonotic, which means it can be spread by person to person. It can infect people of any age. But, people over the age of 60 are twice as likely to get infected by the Coronavirus. Many of the cases have been suggesting this from a few months. Most people over the age of 60 develop diabetes, heart conditions, blood pressure and other illnesses which leads them to low immunity.
