Coronavirus Lockdown: Forced Inactivity for the Oldest Old?

According to the WHO, as of March 15, a total of 153,517 patients have been diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide—with a death toll of 5735 (https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/2...). These heartbreaking figures have led the most affected countries (notably, Italy and Spain) to implement strict national lockdowns, ordering people to stay home—except for essential reasons such as going to work, medical appointments, or buying food—in order to reduce virus spread.
