Maryland Governor Larry Hogan this morning announced yet another rise in the number of people in our state who have tested positive for the coronavirus, which causes the COVID-19 illness. The majority of cases in Maryland involve patients between the ages of 18 and 64, but medical experts have stressed that senior citizens are among the most vulnerable populations when it comes to this pandemic. In Maryland, 20% of the population is 65 or older. In 10 years, it will be 25%. In Baltimore County, seniors already make up 25% of the population. Rona Kramer joins us now. She is the Secretary of the Maryland’s Department of Aging, and she is a member of the state Coronavirus Response Team.
