For Older Americans, the Pandemic Is Not Over – The New York Times

 

For older Americans, the pandemic still poses significant dangers. About three-quarters of Covid deaths have occurred in people over 65, with the greatest losses concentrated among those over 75. In January, the number of Covid-related deaths fell after a holiday spike but nevertheless numbered about 2,100 among those ages 65 to 74, more than 3,500 among 75- to 84-year-olds and nearly 5,000 among those over 85. Those three groups accounted for about 90 percent of the nation’s Covid deaths last month. Hospital admissions, which have also been dropping, remain more than five times as high for people over 70 than for those in their 50s. Hospitals can endanger older patients even when the conditions that brought them in are successfully treated; the harmful effects of drugs, inactivity, sleep deprivation, delirium and other stresses can take months to recover from — or can land them back in the hospital.

On a mission

HIIT: High-Intensity Interval Training

If you open a Television, or Browsers, or Radio everywhere you will hear claiming do our exercise and you will be in the best shape or form. There are so many types of exercises that have emerged in the last 3 to 4 decades but none of them has sustained. Every time some new things come and claim to be the next best thing.

If we look in the east and here I can not go beyond India. In the past, there have been two things that folks have been doing Yoga and walking. With these two only there was no lifestyle disease. Now, very few folks do that and the country has become prone to many lifestyle diseases like other countries.

Now, there are so many types of exercises. Do we need all of those? Not for a common living but if you are athletic…
