何凯文英语每日一句第136句

句子

Covid-19 has reinforced the idea of older people as frail and vulnerable. Some previous pandemics have largely affected the young—the polio outbreaks of the 1950s mainly hit children under five; the devastating 1918-19 flu killed millions of young adults—but Covid-19 mostly kills older sufferers. Age discrimination has long spoiled labour markets around the world, in spite of legal prohibitions against it; and now campaigners are beginning to worry that the coronavirus crisis is about to make age discrimination far worse.
