Relative over 65 thinks it would be best to get coronavirus now as at least she would get medical help if it was needed it's said that a very large percentage of the population will get the virus so she's prepared as far as possible but says she's being realistic
If she gets it later then its been said on the Italian website that anyone over 65 or with underlying conditions would not be a priority if intensive care beds are full.

The risks are not too bad for a 60-70 year old with no underlying health conditions with a 3.6% fatality rate

Actually probably a bit lower than this becuase she is female.
