A study found while most of the population likely caught COVID-19 at least once, more than four in 10 elderly adults may have avoided infection so far, while remaining at the highest risk for hospitalization and death. By July, more than 80% of children and adults under 50 had been infected and had a low risk of hospital admission or death. Although research estimated one death for every 80 newly infected seniors who are 80 and older, the study also found a decrease in severe outcome risks over the course of the pandemic among all age groups, including seniors.
