Despite your age, your chances are more linked to having underlying medical conditions than age. The chances of underlying conditions increases with age so that makes older gents like yourself look more susceptible. If you have no underlying conditions then despite an onset of codgerism, your chances are below 1%

Which is, from my perspective at least, good news.
I do find the evidence that people have caught it, been cured and then caught it again, worrisome. I wonder whether the second time is milder or whether one's weakened state makes death a more likely consequence.
We are taking every conceivable precaution as my demented 84 year old father in law is in considerable jeopardy. Also, if my wife gets ill, I am not sure who will look after him.

Containment is designed, from what I can see, to interrupt the progress of the pandemic so that we don't all fall ill at once and so that summer may operate to kill off the pandemic before it affects us all. Mind you, I have seen nothing to say that summer will actually help and there are now reports of people catching it multiple times which is a worry.
As an elderly male, it looks like my chance of death when (rather than if) I catch it is around 5%. Not sure if that increases or deceases when I catch it for the second or third time.
Then again, perhaps this planet needs fewer elderly males.
