Because of the differences in age, it seems some seniors are presenting with atypical symptoms for COVID-19. This is resulting in some difficultly in detection and treatment. Some are being brushed off as not needing immediate medical care and only taken to be tested after a spouse insisted they be taken to the hospital. In the hospital they tested positive for the virus.
