The more you stay away from people the more your immune system will weaken. And that happens with older people because they go out less. We have been running around in the villages, in the restaurants and bars since they opened and like all the others have not gotten sick. And I still work from home and honestly will not go out everyday or night just cause I work and I still have not gotten sick. My guy is 69 and a few health issues. Stay healthy and do what’s best for you
Depends what’s causing your sickness. If it’s cancer or something like that I believe you, but if it is bacteria or virus I don’t think so. Contagious illness like the flu, cold, measles etc are .... well contagious. You get it from people.

Older people have less immunity. In Canada, for example, 80% of all Covid deaths occurred among long term residents. They were always among people, tell your doctor.
