Thanks, Shane, for the website.  I am, however, devastated to find out that,
when they say "the elderly" that they mean the following:

     Who is most at risk?

<<People over 50 years of age have the highest risk of developing a severe
illness because as we age, our bodies have a harder time fighting off
disease. People with compromised immune systems are also at increased risk.
However, anyone can get the virus.>>

That means that I've been "elderly" or "very old" for well nigh 20 years now
and never had a clue!

Bring on the long pants, bug netting from head to toe, and DEET.
