Dec 23, 2020 by Leslie Lutton 2020 has been rough. Not only with the loss and turmoil, but since the spring I’ve had to worry constantly for my 72 year old mother, Paula who lives with us. The data shows — and even the skeptics generally agree — that seniors generally get hit far harder by COVID-19 than everyone else. Add on to that, my mom has COPD and Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (plus a recent pneumonia hospitalization!), and I’ve been trying my best to make sure the Coronavirus doesn’t enter our house. The doctors have been very clear. If my mom gets Coronavirus, the odds are not in her favor.
