Answer 1

Favorite Answer

It's possible that she'll get worse and die. She's more likely to recover if she was in good general health to start out with.

I have multiple coworkers in their 60's who've gotten it and recovered. One did spend time in ICU, the rest had more mild cases.

Answer 2

It could happen but not necessarily. 

Answer 3

Even young children have died from the virus, anybody can depends on several factors, health, weight, immune, etc.

Answer 4

It all depends on her health and if she has a compromised immune system or not.

Answer 5

Not necessarily. She's gonna be fine if she has a strong immune system. The thing is that with COVDI you never know... some 30-year-old people die and 60-year-old people survive.

Answer 6

Tom Hanks is 64 and he had it and pulled through. So there is hope. She has a better chance at 65 than 75 or 85.

Answer 7

It depends on her stamina. Can she pull a car with her teeth? Leap tall building in a single bound? & do a pile of laundry before lunch?  Horses do not catch C19 big time.  They say starting at about 65.  Some people who are 20 act like they are 70.

Answer 8

She will probably be fine as long as she doesn't have any major health issues.  99+% recover completely.

Answer 9

She might; she might not. There's no guarantee because she's older

Answer 11

no not necessarily. Older people do fine and young people die.  Its pretty unpredictable to a certain extent. Someone over 100 just survived
