If you think ha I’m young it won’t affect me, well, Italy says differently as 20 and 30 year olds are getting sick now. And last week it was 40-45 year olds." I was worried about this possibility, and here is a link to a story from Ontario: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/some-people-in-their-30s-with-coronavirus-being-placed-on-ventilators-ontario-health-minister/ar-BB11nhDs?ocid=spartandhp " Ontario's health minister says some people in their 30s with novel coronavirus are being placed on ventilators, adding the COVID-19 pandemic is a "very serious health situation for all Ontarians." Christine Elliott made the remarks during a press conference with Premier Doug Ford and Finance Minister Rod Phillips at Queen's Park Wednesday afternoon. Elliott said while younger people more often seem to be carriers of the virus and do not often experience severe symptoms, there have recently been situations where "people in their 30s are now becoming very ill and are having to be placed on ventilators." READ MORE: 23 new coronavirus cases confirmed in Ontario, total active cases at 206 "We’re seeing that certainly across Ontario," Elliott said. "We’re also seeing it in places like the United States, in New York for example. Very significant increase in cases. They are finding their health system is being severely overburdened right now. We don’t want to get to that situation in Ontario." It is not clear if the individuals Elliott was referring to have underlying health conditions, though medical experts have said that older people and those with underlying conditions are most susceptible to developing severe symptoms of COVID-19. Elliott encouraged social distancing and asked people to not gather in crowds. In that same press conference, Elliott said automakers in Ontario are looking to be outfitted with tools needed to create ventilators. The province has ordered 300 additional ventilators, she said, adding that the current supply of the machines is sufficient for the time being. Ontario reported 23 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, bringing the provincial total to 203. Are the younger people who are getting really sick from the virus person’s with pre existing medical conditions? Are they obese? Are they smokers? Do they have diabetes? I read (can’t remember where) that people with preexisting lung issues, the obese, and smokers are at higher risk (much like the elderly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re wise, and so are your parents. It’s us older people, especially ones with preexisting heath issues, who we all need to be very careful with. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am shocked over this thing, everyone needs to do their part in staying informed! I have a low immune system and I am also a pensioner on a fixed income. we get paid once a month and so we cannot stock up on food and tp . I am sick of people stockpiling and not thinking of their neighbors. I just hope next week when we can go and shop, there will be enough food . my grandson has a birthday today and well it was cancelled, he was in tears, kids are having a hard time understanding and thats who I feel bad about. the children! I went and did some shopping at Superstore for my in-laws today that are in their 80's and need to stay in. Shelves are just fine, I didn't see a shortage of anything. People were in a good mood al things considered, being considerate in line, etc. I didn't see anyone going ape on stockpiling, maybe just a little extra but there doesn't seem to be a run on things. I think most people have got he message stockpiling isn't needed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think several of us here are retired folk. We are the highest risk group, and need to be careful. I’m a bit disappointed with some of the younger people (not children) who are at almost no risk, and yet they are hoarding much of the things the elderly really need, but can’t get. Maybe our government should have something in place for elderly people to phone a number, and supplies/medications are delivered by volunteers, who have been tested fir the virus, and are (of course) not carriers? I can see why elderly peoples’ children And younger friends and family are being extra careful. Is the a way people, who want to help out their elderly family, friends, and neighbors can get tested, so they know for certain they’re not carriers? It’s things like this that I think could help out our most at risk people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of grocery stores around the world are starting to have a designated time before the store opens to public for the elderly and at risk people to go shopping. I think that should happen here as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
