That's My Understanding As Well, Jim...
Mum in her 80's and living alone. Mobile and healthy but, well, the "in her 80's" side of it is a cause of worry.
My 'understanding' is the elderly ep,people with chronic ongoing health issues as CV may precipiate pheumonia or similar-which is not good if you are old/weak, or, indeed, weak. But I could be wrong.
People on Chemo-have been in the past, am sure a few on here as well as well-it f**ks up your immune system so, again, assuming anyone on Chemo or any form of cancer treatment need to be a little more cautious than most.
I'm in my 50's, fairly active, fairly fit-could be a lot of improvement on both-but assuming, yet again, CV would be a bit of a not very pleasant few days in bed for me but I'd get through it OK.
That's the problem. We are all playing with so many assumptions and they could all be wrong!
