No, when you're older, you've already lost things, aren't as fast,as strong, you have nowheres near the wind.I think older people are stubborn because they think that they have been through so much already and that this is overblown. They’ve been through west nile, Zika, Swine Flu, Ebola, smallpox, etc. They probably think that since they made it through all that, this isn’t a big deal. My parents are elderly and just came back from wintering in Arizona recently. We got a shopping list from them so they wouldn’t have to go shopping when they got back. I asked them again the next week if they needed anything and they told me that they had already been to the store. I was like, “mom, you guys don’t need to go the the store” and they were like it was no big deal. It’s the way some of them are wired.
Keeping what you can do is simply more important.
