That the elderly are particularly vulnerable to the pandemic is clearly indicated by the mortality figures for COVID-19. According to UN data, the mortality rate among the 80+ population is five times that of the worldwide average, as of April 26, 2020 (United Nations, May 2020). Israel’s 65+ population at the end of 2018 totaled about a million (Shnoor & Cohen, 2020) and is estimated to reach 1.1 million by the end of 2020.[1]
And that's why, once the vaccines were out, the elderly should've all been vaccinated and the lockdowns ended. instead, for over a yaer even though most of us were vaccinated we were told to act as if nothing had changed.
