I'm 67 and my survival rate is above 99%. I've a better chance of falling off a ladder and becoming a vegetable. So I'll stay off of ladders, wear a mask where required, wash my hands frequently, use sanitizer(75% alcohol), avoid crowds out of doors, sneeze and cough into my arm and use ridiculously common sense to be safe.

Best of luck to all.
You are 1100 times more likely to die from it than a group of people who are between 5 and 17 according to this graph from the CDC. My age group is worse than that. I do not care what you decide but I am sure there are several people who wish you would increase your odds simply because they love you.
