Alright, just had to chime back in with all the "elderly" posting their ages. I'm on this forum because I retired back in 2009 when large corporations panicked and offered "golden parachutes" to those near retirement age . . . and I'm bored to death! In my past life I managed large electrical projects and doing laundry, picking up groceries and vacuuming just ain't doing it. Was always a "Mac" guy (first one in 1984) but got to know Windows because of the corporate world. So now, every MS Windows update presents an adventure and a challenge. I almost hate it when things go well.
I am 75 and not taking any medication. Only taking vitamins. No health issues other than some minor arthritis in my knee from football years ago. Married to a 20 yr younger wife for last 25yrs and everything still works...Lol
Just installed KB4541335 on 3 machines with no apparent problems. Still got to do the 32 bit machine on the VM but it can wait.
Since we're discussing age, I'm 76 in a few weeks and still functioning. I'm trying to stay clean from this bug.
I read a note a couple of days ago that there might be more severe complications if you're taking ACE Inhibitors medication. ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers may increase the risk of severe COVID-19, paper suggests -- ScienceDaily
Here in Australia and in a few other places we have had a round of panic buying certain items. Following from this the other day I saw this joke in the local newspaper.
Q: Given that COVID-19 is a respiratory disease why are people panic buying toilet paper.
A: Because every time someone sneezes the rest of us sh!t ourselves.
I'm 84 - nearly 85, am staying in, going out only to Walmart pickup for groceries and prescriptions. So far, so good.
Am allergic to ACE Inhibitors, so I can't take them, guess that's a good allergy!

I go to Wal Mart and Sam's Club carefully have made our own hand disinfectant we just happen to have an Aloe Vera plant and had about a gallon of Alcohol. So using that a lot while out. Also i have a Firearm Repair business that i'm keeping open not much business but taking precautions with that too. My Parrish/County has only a few cases and 2 deaths so far.
I was 65 yesterday and am apparently "elderly" because schoolgirls offer my their seats on the tram. Also my new neighbours dropped in a note to see if we were alright and do we need any groceries.
