Summary

Statement : * The emerging Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) disease, linked to the SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) pathogen, has been spreading worldwide since December 2019, affecting millions of people and causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, particularly among the elderly. * The first epidemiological evidence available reveals a different expression of the disease in the elderly, associated with a high risk of delayed diagnosis and implementation of protective measures and a particularly high morbidity and mortality, especially among the frailest. * To date, there is no effective model for predicting the severity of COVID-19 in an individual. The investigators hypothesize that there are specificities of COVID-19 in the elderly, both etiological, diagnostic and prognostic, all of which are not yet known and understood.
