A record nine in ten Covid deaths in the US are now among the elderly, official data shows — as the disease now firmly becomes an illness of old age.
Like with most viruses, older people have been more vulnerable to Covid throughout the pandemic, but in recent months fatalities have been skewed further towards the over-65s, reaching a record 92 per cent of all Covid deaths a fortnight ago.
Researchers are not clear on what may be behind this trend, although uptake of the bivalent vaccine has been low with just a quarter of elderly people getting the shots.
