Covid 19 / Coronavirus

I am 72. I have had the flu once, 35 years ago. If I get Covid19 I would be more likely to die due to underlying health issues and my age.. Sooner or later I will be exposed and it is more contagious than the typical flu. It will be harder on me than the flu.
If they come up with a working vaccine, maybe my life expectancy will be longer.
Never figured a virus would do me in.
Thank you China
