According to the New York Times news on the 13th, 75% of the new crown deaths in the United States, or about 600,000 of the 800,000 deaths so far, are aged 65 or more. In proportion to the total population, 1 in 100 elderly Americans died from the virus. Since the vaccine was first provided, the proportion of elderly people in the United States who have been vaccinated is much higher than that of young people, but the cruel damage caused by the new crown epidemic to them remains the same. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the proportion of deaths in the elderly has risen again in the past two months. Currently, more than 1,200 people in the United States die every day from COVID-19, most of them aged 65 and over.

Elderly people across the U.S. say they have endured isolation and fear associated with the covid-19 pandemic until millions of young and middle-aged people return to work and school to restore normal social order. Although life is gradually becoming normal, there are still a large number of severe cases among the elderly, especially if they are not vaccinated. Hospitals in the Midwest, New England and the Southwest have seen an influx of elderly patients this month. Fears of their risk of infection, coupled with health officials' constant warnings about other dangers that older adults may face, many older Americans still generally reduce visits to relatives and friends and endure fear of loneliness.
